Liver disease is a major health problem that endangers human worldwide. Stem cells have the unique ability to morph or differentiate into different types of within body. In this way, stem can be used seek out damaged liver tissue and regenerate organ itself. Mesenchymal are multipotent self-renew cell types. other words, mesenchymal become variety including adipose tissue, cartilage, muscle, te...

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), sometimes called mesenchymal stem cells, are cultured cells able to give rise to mature mesenchymal cells such as adipocytes, osteoblasts, and chondrocytes, and to secrete a wide range of trophic and immunomodulatory molecules. Evidence indicates that pericytes, cells that surround and maintain physical connections with endothelial cells in blood vessels, can g...

background: due to increasing clinical demand for adipose tissue, a suitable cell for reconstructive adipose tissue constructs is needed. in this study, we investigated the ability of human endometrial-derived stem cells (enscs) as a new source of mesenchymal stem cells to differentiate into adipocytes. enscs are the abundant and easy available source with no immunological response, for cell re...

Stem cells regulate their fate by binding to, and contracting against, the extracellular matrix. Recently, it has been proposed that in addition to matrix stiffness and ligand type, the degree of coupling of fibrous protein to the surface of the underlying substrate, that is, tethering and matrix porosity, also regulates stem cell differentiation. By modulating substrate porosity without alteri...

Introduction: Mesenchymal stem cells can be isolated from adult tissues, such as the adipose tissue, or other sources. Among all these sources, adipose tissue because of easy access, and placenta due to its immunomodulatory properties, in addition to another useful properties, were attracted more attention to themselves. Isolation and comparing these two different sources can help us for acces...

BACKGROUND Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) as multipotent cells with the capacity to be differentiated into several cell lineages are promising sources for cell therapy and tissue engineering nowadays. Today most of culturing media are supplemented with fetal bovine serum (FBS). But FBS containing culturing media may raise the possibility of zoonotic infections and immunological reactions in c...

The biological properties of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are influenced by donor age, gender and/or tissue sources. The present study investigated the cellular and molecular properties of porcine mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) isolated from different tissues (adipose & dermal skin) and sex at different ages (1 week & 8 months after birth) with similar genetic and environmental backgrou...

BACKGROUND Shortly after allergen exposure, the number of bone marrow (BM) and circulating CD34(+) progenitors increases. We aim to analyze the possible mechanism whereby the allergic reaction stimulates BM to release these effector cells in increased numbers. We hypothesize that mast cells (MCs) may play a predominant role in this process. OBJECTIVE To examine the effect of IgE-activated MCs...

Scleroderma is a group of skin-fibrosing diseases for which there are no effective treatments. A feature of the skin fibrosis typical of scleroderma is atrophy of the dermal white adipose tissue (DWAT). Adipose tissue contains adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (ADSCs) that have regenerative and reparative functions; however, whether DWAT atrophy in fibrosis is accompanied by ADSC loss i...
