Background  Wisdom teeth are usually removed as a routine procedure for therapeutic or prophylactic reasons. Developing wisdom teeth are easy accessible source of stem cells during the adulthood which could be obtained. Methods  Search of the PubMed for stem cells and tooth was done. An inclusion criterion was extract of stem cells from wisdom tooth. Results  Stem cells can be obtained fro...

bone tissue engineering has been one of the most promising areas of research, providing a potential clinical application to cure bone defects. recently, various stem cells, including embryonic stem cells (escs), bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (bm-mscs), umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ucb-mscs), adipose tissue-derived stem cells (adscs), muscle-derived stem cell...

Objective(s): In the past few decades, variety of foetal, embryonic and adult stem and progenitor cells have been tried with conflicting outcome for cell therapy of central nervous system injury and diseases. Cellular characteristics and functional plasticity of Globose basal stem cells (GBCs) residing in the olfactory epithelium of rat olfactory mucosa have not been studied in the past by the ...

objective: human basic fibroblast growth factor (bfgf) plays an important role in cellular proliferation, embryonic development, and angiogenesis as well as in several signaling pathways of various cell types. bfgf is an essential growth factor for the maintenance of undifferentiated human embryonic stem cells (hescs) and human induced pluripotent stem cells (hipscs). materials and methods: in ...

The pluripotent stem cells, including embryonic stem cells (ESCs), are capable of self-renewal and differentiation into any cell type, thus making them the focus of many clinical application studies. However, the efficiency of ESCs differentiated into neurons needs to improve. In this study, we tried to increase efficiently to a neural fate in the presence of various transitional Chinese medici...

objective(s): nowadays much effort is being invested in order to diagnose the mechanisms involved in neural differentiation. by clarifying this, making desired neural cells in vitro and applying them into diverse neurological disorders suffered from neural cell malfunctions could be a feasible choice. thus, the present study assessed the capability of fetal brain extract (fbe) to induce rat bon...
