Background: Adult stem cells (ASC) are undifferentiated cells found throughout the body. These cells are promising tools for cell replacement therapy in neurodegenerative disease. Adipose tissue is the most abundant and accessible source of ASC. This study was conducted to evaluate effect of selegiline on differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC) into functional neuron-like cells (NL...

A better understanding of the molecular mechanisms that regulate adipose tissue-derived stromal cell (ADSC) differentiation could provide new insight into some adipose-tissue-related disease. The differentiation of ADSCs into adipocytes is a complex physiological process that includes clonal expansion, growth arrest, and terminal differentiation. Here the role of microRNA-143 (miR-143) during A...

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...

EPAS1, HLF, or MOP2, is a basic-helix-loop-helix/PAS domain transcription factor that is expressed preferentially in vascular endothelial cells, the organ of Zuckerland I, and adipocytes. HIF-2a regulates the expression of several genes including vascular endothelial growth factor and is involved in the mature vessel construction. Although HIF2a was originally identified as a factor responsible...

background  isolation of adipose tissue mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) with current enzymatic methods has some limitations. for example, it is costly and time-consuming and results in a heterogeneous cell population that making compromise proliferation and differentiation of mscs. also, it is accompanied with the increased risk of culture contaminations because of several handling steps.in this ...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND GPR43 is a G-protein-coupled receptor that participates in adipocyte differentiation in mice and is over-expressed in adipose tissue of obese mice. The aim of this study was to investigate the implication of GPR43 in adipogenesis in humans and to determine the influence of obesity on its expression in human adipose tissue. FINDINGS Preadipocytes were isolated from hum...

Excessive accumulation of white adipose tissue (WAT) is a hallmark of obesity. The expansion of WAT in obesity involves proliferation and differentiation of adipose precursors, however, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we used an unbiased transcriptomics approach to identify the earliest molecular underpinnings occuring in adipose precursors following a brief HFD in mic...

Leptin has been shown to reduce body fat in vivo. Adipocytes express the leptin receptor; therefore, it is realistic to expect a direct effect of leptin on adipocyte growth and metabolism. In vitro studies examining the effect of leptin on adipocyte metabolism require supraphysiological doses of the protein to see a decrease in lipogenesis or stimulation of lipolysis, implying an indirect actio...
