results afscs have the potential to be used in tissue repair and regeneration of bladder and kidney injuries, for the treatment of congenital anomalies like tracheal anomalies and spina bifida therapy etc. however, like other treatment, afscs also have some limitations such as low rate of differentiation of transplanted afscs and immune rejection. conclusions afscs have great therapeutic potent...

human umbilical cord matrix (hucm) is considered as a promising source of mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) due to several advantages over other tissues. the potential of neural differentiation of hucm-mscs is of great interest in the context of treating neurodegenerative diseases. in recent years, considerable efforts have been made to establish in vitro conditions for improving the differentiatio...

Endoneurial fibroblast-like cells (EFLCs) have been described for more than 60 years, but the embryology, functions, and pathology of these cells are not well defined. Several hypotheses of their origin have been proposed. A previous study suggesting that they were of neural crest origin is supported by our data in humans. This lineage might account for EFLCs having multiple biologic functions ...

stem cell research has received considerable attention since the discovery that adult stem cells havethe capacity to form many different tissue types. stem cells are a booming field for the researchand have been extensively studied in the field of medicine, as well as dentistry. their applicationin oncology has been a boon to many of the patients. dental stem cells have been novel approachto tr...

Introduction: Cell transplantation is one of the main strategies for spinal cord injury repair. As OECs of the olfactory mucosa can be obtained by simple biopsy in all individuals without affecting their smell sensation, OECs considered as a promising candidate for autologous transplantation in the nervous system injury, especially for spinal cord repair. Thereby in the current study OECs wer...

stem/progenitor cell based therapeutic approach in our daily routine clinical practice, has been elusive dream in medical sciences and improvement of stem cell homing as one of major challenges in cell therapy programs, has been considered a promising milestone. it has been proved that stem/progenitor cells exhibit a homing response to injured tissues/organs, mediated by interactions of chemoki...

background  the mammary gland in humans is a dynamic organ that undergoes significant developmental changes during pregnancy, lactation, and involution. stem cells derived from human breast milk possess the adult stem cell-like characteristics such as self-renewal, proliferative and differentiate potential. this source of stem cells avoids invasive procedures and the ethical controversy of embr...
