conclusions our data suggest that preconditioning with 5 μm h2o2 + 0.5% fbs and 10 μm h2o2 + 5% fbs improved cell proliferation and viability. however, the mechanisms related to protective properties of preconditioning and using this strategy in stem cell therapy requires more research. background mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) survival decreased following in vivo injection and its application h...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential use of a DNA comet assay, DNA fragmentation fluorimetric assay and reactive oxygen species levels as potential biomarkers of genome conditions of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) isolated from dog canine teeth. Mesenchymal stem cells were isolated from the dental pulp collected from dog teeth. The results obtained suggest the ideal moment for cl...

background: human dental stem cells have high proliferative potential for self-renewal that is important to the regenerative capacity of the tissue. objective: the aim was to isolate human dental pulp stem cells (dpsc), periodontal ligament stem cells (pdlsc) and periapical follicle stem cells (pafsc) for their potential role in tissue regeneration. materials and methods: in this experimental s...

background: mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) are important candidates for msc-based cellular therapy. current paradigm states that mscs support local progenitor cells in damaged tissue through paracrine signaling. therefore, study of paracrine effects and secretome of mscs could lead to the appreciation of mechanisms and molecules associated with the therapeutic effects of these cells. this study ...

objective(s):mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) derived from wharton’s jelly (wj-mscs) are now much more appealing for cell-based infertility therapy. hence, wj-mscs differentiation toward germ layer cells for cell therapy purposes is currently under intensive study. materials and methods: mscs were isolated from human wharton’s jelly and treated with bmp4, retinoic acid (ra) or co-cultured on human...

Introduction: Hematopoiesis is an on going process mammalian marrow system. A few cells from the nucleated cells of bone marrow are hematopoietic cells which include primary stem cells, precursor cells and progenitor cells. Primary stem cells and progenitor cells are able to produce colonies in culture medium (CFU-C) and irradiated mouse spleen (CFU-S). A hematopoietic cell is alive and act...

Objective(s) Arsenic compounds are potent human carcinogen and produce a variety of stress responses in mammalian cells. Recently sodium arsenite has been recommended to be used as anti malignancy drug by American food and drug administration (FDA). In this study, we aimed to determine the apoptosis inducing effect of sodium arsenite on rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells exposed in vitro. ...

epilepsy is one of the most common neuroinflammatory disorders that affect more than 50 million people worldwide. excessive electrical discharges in neurons following neural cell damage or loss leads to recurrent seizures, which are described as epilepsy. one of the most common and difficult to treat types of epilepsy is temporal lobe epilepsy (tle), which results from hippocampal sclerosis. cu...
