Background and Aims: Previous studies have shown that adipose-derived mesenchymal stem/ stromal cells are one of the sources of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with the capacity to differentiate into various mesodermal cell lineages. MSCs with cytokines secretion capability, which contributes to repair damaged tissues have gained wide credence for future cell-based therapeutic applications. In th...

Message Sequence Charts MSCs are a graphical and textual language for the speci cation of message passing systems in particular telecommunication systems MSCs are standardised by the Internal Telecommunication Union in standard Z Included in the standard is a formal semantics for MSCs by means of a process algebra This semantics covers the complete language of single MSCs but lacks an interpret...

Background The incidence rate of spinal cord injury (SCI) is increasing, and the mortality or disability caused by SCI remains high in world. Buyang Huanwu Decoction (BYHWD) a kind Traditional Chinese medicine, it believed to be effective several kinds nervous system diseases. Whether BYHWD could improve potential function mechanism remain unclear. Methods animal model was established damaging ...

objective(s):immunosuppressive property of mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) has great attraction in regenerative medicine especially when dealing with tissue damage involving immune reactions. the most attractive tissue sources of human mscs used in clinical applications are bone marrow (bm), adipose tissue (at), and wharton's jelly (wj) of human umbilical cord. the current study has compared...

The application of autologous endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) transplantation is a promising approach in therapeutic cardiovascular diseases and ischemic diseases. In this study, we compared the immunogenicity of EPCs, adipose tissue (AD)-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and umbilical cord (UC)-derived MSCs by flow cytometry and the mixed lymphocyte reaction. The impact of AD-MSCs and UC...

A major issue in immunosuppressive biotherapy is the use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that harbor regulatory capacity. However, currently used bone marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs) are short-lived and cannot assure long lasting immunoregulatory function both in vitro and in vivo. Consequently, we have generated MSCs from human induced pluripotent stem (IPS-MSCs) cells that share similar proper...

Allogeneic equine multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (eMSCs) have been proposed for use in regenerative therapies in veterinary medicine. A source of allogeneic eMSCs might be the bone marrow from euthanized horses. The purpose of this study was to compare in vitro characteristics of equine bone marrow derived eMSC (eBM-MSCs) from euthanized horses (eut-MSCs) and from narcotized horses (nar-...

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have emerged as a potential cell-based therapy for pulmonary emphysema in animal models. Our previous study demonstrated that human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived MSCs (iPSC-MSCs) were superior over bone marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs) in attenuating cigarette smoke (CS)-induced airspace enlargement possibly through mitochondrial transfer. This study further i...
