introduction: laser phototherapy is used for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis in patients with leukemia, although there are limited data supporting the safety of this method. this study aimed to evaluate the effect of different doses of low-level laser on proliferation of acute myeloid leukemia (aml) cell line (kg-1a) in vitro. methods: a plastic flask containing 5,000,000 k...

stem cell-based therapy has great potential in treating health conditions including cardiovascular, autoimmune, type i diabetes, neurodegenerative and bone and cartilage diseases also in spinal cord injuries, malformations and cancer. in addition to their potential use to treat systemic diseases, stem cell-based therapy also provides a powerful tool to treat oral and dental diseases such as cra...

stem cell therapy could have great potential for the treatment of a wide variety of diseases. stem cells might have the ability to differentiate into a widespread cell types, and to repopulate and revitalize the damaged cells with healthy tissue, and improve its performance. we provide here the evidence supporting the critical use of stem cell as a treatment in disease conditions existing with ...

objectives : this study sought to assess the effect of low-level laser (lll) on pain and trismus after impacted mandibular third molar surgery. materials and methods : this double blind controlled clinical trial was conducted on 40 healthy patients with no underlying disease and impacted mesioangular mandibular third molars with the same level of difficulty. the patients were divided into two g...

treatment of spinal cord injury by exogenous cells has brought both successful and unsuccessful results. olfactory ensheathing cells and schwann cells have been widely used for transplantation purposes. in this study, we investigated the effects of these cells on contused spinal cord by introducing cells into subarachnoid space. fifty thousand schwann cells or olfactory ensheathing cells or a m...

introduction: cell transplantation is one of the main strategies for spinal cord injury repair. as oecs of the olfactory mucosa can be obtained by simple biopsy in all individuals without affecting their smell sensation, oecs considered as a promising candidate for autologous transplantation in the nervous system injury, especially for spinal cord repair. thereby in the current study oecs were ...

background: stem-cell technology has been advocated as a potentially curative option for treatment of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. in the current study, we aimed to assess the effectiveness of allotransplantation of fetal liver-derived cells for treatment of patients with type 1 diabetes. methods: for the purpose of the current study, 72 patients with recently diagnosed type 1 dm were recru...
