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...

Since 1928, human fetal tissues and stem cells have been used worldwide to treat various conditions. Although the transplantation of the fetal midbrain substantia nigra and dopaminergic neurons in patients suffering from Parkinson's disease is particularly noteworthy, the history of other types of grafts, such as those of the fetal liver, thymus, and pancreas, should be addressed as there are m...

Background The present study was designed to evaluate the survival and proliferation of spermatogonial stem cells from cryptorchid mouse testis in co-culture system over a 3 weeks period. MaterialsAndMethods Sertoli and spermatogonial cells were isolated from bilateral cryptorchid mouse model testes. Isolated spermatogonial cells were co-cultured with Sertoli cells in minimal essential medium (...

background: dental pulp stem cells can be used in regenerative endodontic therapy. the aim of this study was to introduce an efficient method for dental pulp stem cells isolation. materials and methods: in this in-vitro study, 60 extracted human third molars were split and pulp tissue was extracted. dental pulp stem cells were isolated by the following three different methods: (1) digestion of ...

ex vivo expansion of human umbilical cord blood cells (hucbc) is explored by several investigators to enhance the repopulating potential of hucbc. the proliferation and expansion of human hematopoietic stem cells (hsc) in ex vivo culture was examined with the goal of generating a suitable clinical protocol for expanding hsc for patient transplantation. using primary human mesenchymal stem cells...

background: the definitive endoderm (de) differentiation using the undefined media and non-human feeders can cause contaminations in the generated cells for therapeutic applications. therefore, generating safer and more appropriate de cells is needed. this study compared five different methods to establish an appropriate method for inducing an efficient de differentiation from human induced plu...
