Bone tissue engineering has been one of the most promising areas of research, providing a potential clinical application to cure bone defects. Recently, various stem cells, including embryonic stem cells (ESCs), bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs), umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UCB-MSCs), adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs), muscle-derived stem cell...

background: umbilical cord tissue is a very rich source of mesenchymal stem cells. instead of discarding this source we are banking the tissue along with cord blood for possible future cell based applications. the cord tissue needs to be transported and stored properly in order for it to be good enough for cell isolation at a later date. in this paper we have carried out a validation study to d...

objective: evaluating the effects of p-benzoquinone and hydroquinone on the runx2 expression and osteoblastic differentiation of human marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (mscs). materials and methods: bone marrow mscs obtained by cultivating marrow mononuclear cells, were exposed to 10μm of either p-benzoquinone or hydroquinone. following chemical treatment, runx2 gene expression was assess...

background: stem cell therapy in small animal medicineis still in its infancy and few in vitro and in vivo research projectsregarding animal mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) have beencarried out. on the other hand, cell tracking is the first step of thecell-based therapies and is essential to recognize cell fate posttransplantation. objectives: the aim of this study was toisolate, characterize, an...

Background: Mesenchymal stem cells are non-hematopoietic stromal cells that are used in the treatment of many chronic and autoimmune diseases by modulating the immune system. Due to the limitations of using autologous mesenchymal stem cells, the use of allogeneic stem cells is a promising therapeutic approach in the treatment of immunological disorders. This study aimed to investigate the abili...

introduction based on previous researches, dental pulp stem cells (dpscs) are easily accessible with limited morbidity after collection. their embryonic origin, from neural crests, explains their multipotency. dpscs are primarily derived from the pulp tissues of the teeth.objective: this study was undertaken to isolate, culture, and characterize two different third molar and first premolar huma...

the aim of this study was to investigate the interactions between rat intestine decellularized scaffold and human adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells. rat large intestine was dissected in fragments and decellularized by physicochemical methods. the scaffolds were loaded by human adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells expressing green fluorescent protein. microscopic sections were prepared fr...
