Introduction: Embryonic Stem (ES) cells as pluripotent cells derived from the inner cell mass of blastula can differentiate to neural cells in vitro and this property is valuable in studies of neurogenesis and in the generation of donor cells for transplantation. In this regard, the propose of this research, was the study of the role of two important factors in the development of neural syst...

Introduction: Doxorubicin is frequently used for treatment of several types of cancer. Doxorubicin cardiac toxicity has limited the use of this drug. Corticosteroids may prevent doxorubicin induced cardiotoxicity. Therefore the aim of this study was to evaluate mouse embryonic stem cells derived cardiomyocytes as a model to evaluate the effect of Doxorubicin and dexamethasone. Methods: Mouse ...

marine streptomyces are prolific producers of majority of bioactive secondary metabolites which are used in pharmaceutical industry as effective drugs against life threatening diseases. the cytotoxic activity of the pure compound 1, 2- benzene dicarboxylic acid, mono 2- ethylhexyl ester (dmehe) from marine derived actinomycete streptomyces sp. vitsjk8 was investigated against mouse embryonic fi...

introduction: lactate dehydrogenase is one of the cardiac enzyme markers, studied in vivo. in the present study, activity and kinetic properties of enzyme extracted from cardiomycytes derived from mouse embyronic stem cell in vitro were compared with enzyme extracted mouse neonatal from cardiomyocytes in vivo. material and methods: mouse embryonic stem cells were cultured and differentiated and...

background dox is a powerful chemotherapeutic agent used in the treatment of solid tumors and malignant hematological diseases. however, its cardiac toxicity limits the clinical usefulness of this drug. previous reports have shown corticosteroids induce a cytoprotective effect on cardiomyocytes. mouse transgenic embryonic stem cell-derived pure cardiomyocytes may be considered as a model for as...

The aim of this study was to isolate mouse embryonic stem cells from late blastocyst stage embryos and to use them as a model system for the study of hematopoietic induction outside the embryo by coculturing of embryonic stem cells with bone marrow stromal cells. Blastocyst stage embryos from pregnant NMRI mice were obtained and cultured for 1-2 days in DMEM medium. The inner cell masses formed...

objective(s):to culture thein vitro mouse embryonic stem cells (mescs) and to direct their  differentiation to germ-line cells; in present study we used a vector backbone containing the fusion construct stra8-egfp to select differentiated es cells that entered meiosis.  retinoic acid was used to differentiate embryonic stem cells to germ cells. materials and methods: a fragment of stra8 gene pr...
