conclusions large amounts of preclinical studies have been made of stem cells and there is an increasing interest to perform these studies within the human population but preclinical studies are insufficient; therefore, much more and efficient studies should be conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of stem cells. context musculoskeletal injuries may be painful, troublesome, life limitin...

Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs), which also called mesenchymal stromal cells, are multipotent stem cell. Human MSCs typically are positive for the surface markers CD44, CD73, CD90, CD105, CD106, and also negative for hematopoietic markers CD34 and CD45.These cells can be isolated from postnatal bone marrow, adipose tissue, placenta, and scalp tissue, as well as from various fetal tissues. ...

Embryonic Hematopoiesis In article number 2205345, Fudi Wang, Junxia Min, and co-workers identify demonstrate indispensable function of zinc transporter SLC39A10 (ZIP10) its mediated homeostasis for maintaining the survival fetal hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells. As most important importer on cell membrane stem cells, ZIP10 functions as a gatekeeper (like vacuum to transport across membrane)...

cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the united states and europe. in recent years, the understanding that regenerative processes exist at the level of the myocardium, has placed stem cell research at center stage in cardiology. a stem cell is a cell that has the ability to divide (self replicate) for indefinite periods often throughout the life of the ...

background: the present study was designed to evaluate the survival and proliferation of spermatogonial stem cells from cryptorchid mouse testis in co-culture system over a 3 weeks period. materials and methods: sertoli and spermatogonial cells were isolated from bilateral cryptorchid mouse model testes. isolated spermatogonial cells were co-cultured with sertoli cells in minimal essential medi...

The clinical application of the fetal membranes dates back to nearly a century. Their use has ranged from superficial skin dressings to surgical wound closure. The applications of the fetal membranes are constantly evolving, and key to this is the uncovering of multiple populations of stem and stem-like cells, each with unique properties that can be exploited for regenerative medicine. In addit...

Ex vivo expansion of human umbilical cord blood cells (HUCBC) is explored by several investigators to enhance the repopulating potential of HUCBC. The proliferation and expansion of human hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) in ex vivo culture was examined with the goal of generating a suitable clinical protocol for expanding HSC for patient transplantation. Using primary human mesenchymal stem ...

background: stem-cell therapy plays a preventive role for different complications of diabetes, including diabetes nephropathy. the current phase 3 single-arm clinical trial is designed to investigate the potential protective effect of allotransplantation of fetal liver-derived cell suspension in diabetic nephropathy. methods: seventy-four diabetic patients with type 1 were selected according to...
