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...

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. ...

background bone marrow and adipose tissue are two main sources of mesenchymal stem cells (mscs). some of studies suggest that there are some differences in gene expression profile of mscs-derived from various tissues. to investigate gene expression profile by qrt-pcr, an appropriate reference gene with stable expression level should be chosen for normalizing data.  this study was designed to ev...

objective(s):sea cucumber derived bioactive compound is considered efficient in treatment of bone disorders. this study was performed   to evaluate the effect of this extract on differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rbmmsc) into osteogenic lineage. materials and methods: isolated rbmmsc were grown in dmem supplemented with 10% fbs. the cells were exposed to different concen...

Arm grooves of star-fish have mesenchymal stem cells derived from adipose tissue cell. Widespread studies have shown that stem cells derived from adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell from bone marrow have many similarities in terms of the ability to differentiate into a variety of tissues. Most of the animals live in warm and shallow waters and the waters of this feature is that it is low in d...

In the present study, PC12 cells induced by 6-hydroxydopamine as a model of Parkinson's Disease, were used to investigate the protective effects of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells against 6-hydroxydopamine-induced neurotoxicity and to verify whether the mechanism of action relates to abnormal α-synuclein accumulation in cells. Results showed...

dental tissues provide an alternate source of stem cells compared with bone marrow and have a similar potency as that of bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells. it has been established there are six types of dental stem cells: dental pulp stem cells, stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth, stem cells from apical papilla, periodontal ligament stem cells, dental follicle progenitor ...

purpose: to separate and characterize orbital fat-derived stem cells (ofscs) and compare its cellular and molecular properties with those of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) and adipose-derived stem cells (ascs). methods: stem cells from orbital fat, abdominal fat and bone marrow aspirates have been isolated. we assessed stem cell specific cell surface markers using cytometry, ...

Background and Objective: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) promote metastasis in colorectal cancer; however, the mechanism underlying this process is not fully understood. Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a key step in tumor acquisition of metastatic phenotype. We aimed to investigate the effect of MSCs on the expression of EMT markers, as well as cancer stem cell markers in HT-29 col...

background: during the resent years there has been interest in using bone marrow stem cells to treat liver cirrhosis. however, there is a potential concern for malignant transformation after stem cell therapy. the aim of this study was to evaluate the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) after autologous bone marrow stem cell transplantation for liver cirrhosis. methods: all the patien...
