objective(s): stem cell therapy is believed to be as a promising treatment strategy for tissue repair and regeneration. the plasticity specification of the adult stem cells, such as mscs, has enabled that these cells to be used in the treatment of a broad spectrum of diseases like liver disorders. in this study, the production of urea and albumin (alb), glycogen storage, and expression of some ...

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have the capabilities for self-renewal and differentiation into cells with the phenotypes of bone, cartilage, neurons and fat cells. These features of MSCs have attracted the attention of investigators for using MSCs for cell-based therapies to treat several human diseases. Because bone marrow-derived cells, which are a main source of MSCs, are not always acceptabl...

Abstract Background Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) provide potential treatments for peritoneal fibrosis. However, MSCs cultured in media containing serum bring risks of infection and other problems. In this study, we compared the effect human serum-free medium (SF-MSCs) on fibrosis with that 10% fetal bovine (10%MSCs). Methods Peritoneal was induced by intraperitoneally injecting 0.1% chlorhexid...

introduction: recognition of human leukocyte antigens (hla) is of importance for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. any hla-mismatches between the donor and recipient can cause graft rejection or other complications. in hla-typing experiments, usage of hla-known reference cells accompany with hla-unknown samples is obligatory. some international centers represent these cells with high exp...

Stem cell-based therapy has been highlighted as a potential avenue to promote tissue regeneration, where stimulation of stem cells differentiate into the targeted cell type is essential. One factors that induce their surrounding microenvironment. In this study, correlation between mild reductant and early osteogenic commitment was evaluated. A surface-reducing microenvironment significantly sil...

stem cells are self-renewing cells that can be differentiated into other cell types. conventional in vitro models for studying stem cells differentiation are usually preformed in two-dimensional (2d) cultures. the design of three-dimensional (3d) in vitro models which ideally are supposed to mimic the in vivo stem cells microenvironment is potentially useful for inducing stem cell derived tissu...

Myofiber cultures give rise to myogenic as well as to non-myogenic cells. Whether these myofiber-associated non-myogenic cells develop from resident stem cells that possess mesenchymal plasticity or from other stem cells such as mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) remain unsolved. To address this question, we applied a method for reconstructing cell lineage trees from somatic mutations to MSCs and my...
