background differences in causes, severities, areas of stenosis, and the association with swallowing and phonation of larynx and trachea can result into laryngotracheal stenosis (lts).this study evaluated the healing effect of bone marrow stem cells (bmscs) in experimentally induced lts dog model. methods seven dogs were enrolled. bmscs were isolated from proximal humerus and shoulder of a dog ...

The introduction and evolution of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) could be traced back to 1950s, to the studies on interactions among irradiation, covering spleen and bone marrow from it and injection of bone marrow cells. Today, HSCT is considered a well-established, effective and promising means of therapy for various malignant and non-malignant medical conditions, both in chil...

background: spinal cord has a limited capacity to repair therefore, medical interventions are necessary for treatment of injuries. transplantation of schwann cells has shown a great promising result for spinal cord injury (sci). however, harvesting schwann cell has been limited due to donor morbidity and limited expansion capacity. furthermore, accessible sources such as bone marrow stem cells ...

isolated extramedullary relapse of chronic myelogenous leukemia (cml) after allogeneic stem cell transplant is rare. there is a case report of a child who developed a granulocytic sarcoma of the maxillary and sphenoid sinuses and lumbosacral spinal cord mass 18 months after allogeneic bone marrow transplant for cml. he was presented with per orbital edema and neurological deficit of lower extre...

Introduction: As an inherited neurodegenerative disease, Huntington's disease is accompanied with wide neuronal degeneration in neostriatum and neocortex. Progress of the disease causes disabling clinical effects on movements, recognition and physiology of the body, and finally results in death. At this stage of knowledge we are, there is no effective therapeutic strategy for diminishing the mo...

the wharton’s jelly of the umbilical cord is believed to be a source of mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) which can be therapeutically applied in degenerative diseases. in this study, we investigated the immunomodulatory effect of umbilical cord derived- mesenchymal stem  cells (uc-mscs) and  bone  marrow-derived-mesenchymal stem  cells (bm-mscs) on differentiation, maturation, and endocytosis of m...
