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...

introduction : use of adipose-derived stem cells (adscs) is a suggested hypothesis to enhance the regeneration of bone defects. this technique is of particular interest since adscs are more easily accessible via a non-invasive harvesting technique compared to bone marrow stem cells (bmscs). this study sought to assess the efficacy of adsc implantation for regeneration of localized mandibular bo...

Introduction Based on previous researches, dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) are easily accessible with limited morbidity after collection. Their embryonic origin, from neural crests, explains their multipotency. DPSCs are primarily derived from the pulp tissues of the teeth.Objective: This study was undertaken to isolate, culture, and characterize two different third molar and first premolar hum...

background: hemophilia b is an x-linked hereditary disorder of blood coagulation system which is caused by factor ix (fix) deficiency. factor ix is a plasma glycoprotein that participates in the coagulation process leading to the generation of fibrin. replacement of factor ix with plasma-derived or recombinant factor ix is the conventional treatment for hemophilia b to raise the factor ix level...

Objective- To investigate the effect of intratendinous injection of bMSCs on the rate and extent of tendon healing after primary repair in a rabbit model. Design- Experimental study. Animals- Twenty seven skeletally mature New Zealand white rabbits weighing 1.8- 2.5 kg were used. Twenty rabbits were used as the experimental animals, and seven others were used as a source of bone marrow-derived ...

background: the aim of this study was to investigate the percentage of the stem cells population in human endometrial tissue sections and cultured cells at fourth passage. methods: human endometrial specimens were divided into two parts, one part for morphological studies and the other part for in vitro culture. full thickness of human normal endometrial sections and cultured endometrial cells ...

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...

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a neurologic disorder that have a significant impact on quality of life, life expectancy, and economic burden. SCI leads to irreversible neuronal loss and ultimately leads to paralysis. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a promising source for cellular therapy because they have possessed the capacity of self-renewal and differentiation to several distinct mesenchymal ...
