background: brain hypoxia-ischemia is a human neonatal injury that is considered a candidate for stem cell therapy. methods: the possible therapeutic potential of human umbilical cord blood (hucb) stem cells was evaluated in 14-day-old rats subjected to the right common carotid occlusion, a model of neonatal brain hypoxia-ischemia. seven days after hypoxia-ischemia, rats received either saline ...

conclusions when evaluating flank pain in patients, it is important to remember that cbc parameters may support urinary stone disease, and considering cbc results may be useful in the diagnosis of urinary stone disease. patients and methods this study was a retrospective observational study of 3,099 patients who were admitted to the urology outpatient clinic or diagnosed with urinary stone dise...

conclusions our results suggested that cb-nk cells progenitors could proliferate and differentiate on feeder layer of amnion membrane mscs in combination with specific cytokines to produce nk cells for immunotherapy. results combination of cytokines and msc layer yielded significant fold expansion in comparison with cytokines without feeder conditions (day 7: 5.2 ± 1.12 and 2 ± 0.78, respective...

This paper reports the preliminary finding that the unique surface morphologies of avian red blood cells (aRBCs) infected by the malaria parasite Plasmodium gallinaceum enables the cells to interact with the roughened surface and become immobilized inside the microfluidic channels. It is also found that a roughened glass substrate with ten-pointheight larger than the depth of surface lesions an...

Stem cells have a unique ability to self-renew and differentiate into diverse cell types. Currently, stem cells from various sources are being explored as a promising new treatment for a variety of human diseases. A diverse set of functional and phenotypical markers are used in the characterization of specific therapeutic stem cell populations. The glycans on the stem cell surface respond rapid...

Abstract Background Therapeutic angiogenesis mediated by stem/progenitor cells is an attractive therapeutic option against cardiovascular disease (CVD). Adipose tissue (AT) can be safely obtained even in CVD patients with anti-platelet medications, and it a readily available source of culture-expanded adipose-derived stem (ADSCs) for transplantation. Single-cell transcriptome enables us to scre...

Human umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are known to possess the potential for multiple differentiations abilities in vitro and in vivo. In canine system, studying stem cell therapy is important, but so far, stem cells from canine were not identified and characterized. In this study, we successfully isolated and characterized MSCs from the canine umbilical cord and its ...

background  isolation of adipose tissue mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) with current enzymatic methods has some limitations. for example, it is costly and time-consuming and results in a heterogeneous cell population that making compromise proliferation and differentiation of mscs. also, it is accompanied with the increased risk of culture contaminations because of several handling steps.in this ...

We present the data obtained from routine quantitation of normal venous blood mononuclear cells using 19 monoclonal antibodies against defined mononuclear cell surface antigens. The results indicate different values for percentage and absolute numbers of T lymphocytes and of T lymphocyte subsets depending on the monoclonal antibodies used to quantify these populations. In most instances the tot...
