Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) in the elderly is an epidemic that has major impact on global health. Thus this experimental study aimed to compare the response of microRNA-133a (miR-133a) in different tissues and of Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) in bone marrow tissue following resistance and endurance training in old rats with high-fat diet and streptozotocin (HFD/STZ)-induced ...

Abstract Although multiple studies have investigated the mesenchymal stem and progenitor cells (MSCs) that give rise to mature bone marrow, high heterogeneity in their morphologies properties causes difficulties molecular separation of distinct populations. In this study, by taking advantage resolution single cell transcriptome, we analyzed Sca-1 PDGFR-? fraction mouse marrow tissue. The transc...

Objective(s): Functional imaging presents a non-invasive process that may capture the hyper-metabolic nature of red bone marrow in myeloproliferative neoplasms, such as polycythemia vera (PV). Methods: This study analyzed the FDG-PET/CT scans (n=12) of six patients diagnosed with PV and six age-sex matched controls using a quantitative global analysis methodol...

This investigation aimed to examine the protective function of vitamin E on rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) treated with cadmium chloride. Rat bone marrow MSCs were extracted using flashing-out and cultured in DMEM containing 10% FBS and 100 U/ml Pen/Strep. At the end of the third passage, cells were divided into 4 groups including control, cadmium chloride, cadmium chloride + vit...

introduction: cyclosporin a (cya) is a potent immunosuppressive drug widely used in transplant settings due to its specific inhibition of t–cell activation. several studies have reported the synergistic effect of cya with hematopoietic growth factor in colony culture of mice bone marrow. we studied the effect of il-3, il-6, scf,cya and nutrition medium ( condition medium - pha) on the developme...

background: finding a suitable method for rapid, accurate and reliable estimation of absorbed dose has high priority in management of the radiation exposed persons. shortly after radiation exposure, apoptosis is a major detriment in proliferative tissues such as the hematopoietic system. therefore, quantification of apoptosis in these tissues could be useful for rapid estimation of radiation ex...

background:  renal transplantation is the best choose in the end stage renal disease (esrd), and acute rejection and graft dysfunction remain major challenges in the worldwide, even with the advent of new immunosuppressive drugs. the novel cell-based anti-rejection treatments have been studied by using different stem cell sources. in this study, transplantation of autologous-bone-marrow-derived...

Background: In several conditions we have face cranial bone defects. Reconstruction of these defects remains one of the most challenging problems encountered by craniofacial surgeons. Objective: To evaluate bone repair in cranial bone defects by use of an implant made of octacalcium phosphate in combination with bone matrix gelatin (OCP/BMG). Methods: We used 40, 5–6-week-old male Sprague-Dawle...
