objective(s):transplantation quality improvement and reduction of cellular damage are important goals that are now considered by researchers. melatonin is secreted from the pineal gland and some organs such as testes. according to beneficial effects of melatonin (such as its antioxidant and antiapoptotic properties), researchers have proposed that the use of melatonin may improve transplantatio...

objective(s): chemoresistance remains the main causes of treatment failure and mortality in cancer patients. there is an urgent need to investigate novel approaches to improve current therapeutic modalities and increase cancer patients' survival. induction of drug efflux due to overexpression of                  p-glycoproteins is considered as an important leading cause of multidrug resis...

objective(s) bone marrow is the traditional source of human multipotent mesenchymal stem cells (mscs), but adipose tissue appears to be an alternative and more readily available source. in this study, rat adipose-derived stem cells (adscs) were induced to differentiate into schwann-like cells and compared with rat bone marrow stem cells (bmscs) for their schwann-like cells differentiation poten...

objective(s) it is believed that the mesenchymal stem cell (msc) differentiation and proliferation are the results of activation of wnt signaling pathway. on the other hand, lithium chloride is reported to be able to activate this pathway. the objective of this study was to investigate the effect of lithium on in vitro proliferation and bone differentiation of marrow-derived msc. materials and ...

objective(s) the main objective of this study was to investigate the status of chromosome stability in 3 human-mouse hybridoma cell lines over a period of time in various passages. materials and methods metaphase spreads from 3 human-mouse cell lines (hf2x653, spmo-4 and f3b6) that had been cultured in 4 successive passages, from 1 to 4 weeks, were prepared and analyzed. metaphase chromosomes s...

blood sulfhemoglobin (s-hb), total haemoglobin and phosphorous (p) level and blood cell count in 33 matches industry workers of azar abhar, who were exposed directly or indirectly to chemical agents used in the factory (subjects), were measured. the results were compared with the result of the same measurement on 14 farm workers of the region (control) and were analysed. in this study the effec...

background: characteristics of differentiated osteoblasts from adipose derived stem cells (adscs) in compared with isolated osteoblasts from normal bone such as calvaria are unknown. the aim of this study was determination and comparison of phenotypic characterization between differentiated osteoblasts from stem cells and calvaria osteoblasts in vitro . methods: in this study, mesenchymal stem ...
