The emerging field of regenerative medicine will require a reliable source of stem cells in addition to biomaterial scaffolds and cytokine growth factors. Adipose tissue represents an abundant and accessible source of adult stem cells with the ability to differentiate along multiple lineage pathways. The isolation, characterization, and preclinical and clinical application of adipose-derived st...

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a neurologic disorder that have a significant impact on quality of life, life expectancy, and economic burden. SCI leads to irreversible neuronal loss and ultimately leads to paralysis. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a promising source for cellular therapy because they have possessed the capacity of self-renewal and differentiation to several distinct mesenchymal ...

background menstrual blood-derived stem cells (menscs) are a novel source of stem cells that can be easily isolated non-invasively from female volunteered donor without ethical consideration. these mesenchymal-like stem cells have high rate of proliferation and possess multi lineage differentiation potency. this study was undertaken to isolate the menscs and assess their potential in differenti...

background: osteoarthritis is one of the most common diseases in middle‑aged populations in the world and could become the fourth principal cause of disability by the year 2020. one of the critical properties for cartilage tissue engineering (te) is the ability of scaffolds to closely mimic the extracellular matrix and bond to the host tissue. therefore, te has been presented as a technique to ...

This article contains results of analyses of angiotensin II receptors expression in human adipose tissue and stem/stromal cells isolated from adipose tissue. We also provide here data regarding the effect of angiotensin II on intracellular calcium mobilization in adipose tissue derived stem/stromal cells (ADSCs). Discussion of the data can be found in (Sysoeva et al., 2017) [1].
