Objective(s):Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) can be isolated from adult tissues such as adipose tissue and other sources. Among these sources, adipose tissue (because of easy access) and placenta (due to its immunomodulatory properties, in addition to other useful properties), have attracted more attention in terms of research. The isolation and comparison of MSC from these two sources provides a ...

background: mesenchymal stem cells (msc) are a very promising transplantable stem cell source for a variety of cell replacement therapies. as the main source of msc is bone marrow (bm), most of studies have been done on bm-derived msc (bm-msc). umbilical cord (uc)-derived msc (uc-msc) which are recently introduced, is one of the good alternative source for these cells. the objective of this stu...

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...

Objective(s) The use of co-culture cells as well as extra cellular matrix are among those strategies that have been employed to direct mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) bone differentiation in culture. In this regard, there is no study considering the effects of Matrigel on mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) in vitro bone differentiation. This was the subject of the present study. Materials and Methods ...

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...

Objective(s):The application of stem cells holds great promises in cell transplants. Considering the lack of optimal in vitro model for hepatogenic differentiation, this study was designed to examine the effects of laminin matrix on the improvement of in vitro differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSC) into the more functional hepatocyte-like cells. Materials and Met...

PURPOSE Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are self-renewing, multipotent cells that are present in many adult tissues, including bone marrow, trabecular bone, adipose, and muscle. The presence of such cells of mesenchymal origin and their role during the wound healing of ocular injuries are currently being explored by many studies worldwide. In this study, we aimed to report the presence of mesenchy...

background: in recent years, adipose tissue, due to the stem cells contained within, has found a new special place in laboratory and clinical applications. these adipose‑derived stem cells (adscs) have the same characteristics of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (bmscs). although bone marrow (bm) is not easily accessible and its procurements may be painful, most patients possess excess fat wh...

stem cell therapy is a powerful technique for the treatment of a number of diseases. stem cells are derived from different tissue sources, the most important of which are the bone marrow (bm), umbilical cord (uc) blood and liver. human uc mesenchymal stem cells (huc-mscs) are multipotent, non-hematopoietic stem cells that have the ability to self-renew and differentiate into other cells and tis...
