BACKGROUND Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have a capacity for self-renewal and multi-potential differentiations. These cells are considered powerful sources for cell therapy in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. The cells can be isolated from various tissues; however, harvesting from human umbilical cord and amniotic membrane is easy and accessible source. OBJECTIVE To isolate and c...

Background: Several studies have demonstrated the immunosuppresive effects of mes-enchymal stem cells (MSCs) in allogeneic or mitogenic interactions. Cell-cell contact inhibition and secretion of suppressive soluble factors have been suggested in this re-gard. Objective: To investigate if adipose derived MSCs could inhibit Jurkat lym-phoblastic leukemia T cell proliferation during coculture. Me...

Mesenchymal stem cells-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) have noticeably attracted clinicians’ attention in treating ocular diseases. As the paracrine factor of MSCs and an alternative for cell-free therapies, MSC-EVs can be conveniently dropped over surface or diffused through retina upon intravitreal injection, without increasing risks cellular rejection tumor formation. For clinical t...

Background: It is still controversial that the stem cells isolated from human dental pulp meets the criteria for mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). The aim of the present study was to examine whether or not they are MSCs, or are distinct stem cells population residing in tooth pulp. Methods: Adherent fibroblastic cells in the culture of pulp tissue from human third molars were propagated through se...

Stem cells are emerging as an attractive option because of their intrinsic ability vectors for drug delivery to diseased tissues. The term stem or was first introduced by a Russian histologist, Alexander Maksimov (1874-1928). purpose this study is describe the research and development cell applications stroke. This literature (review article) regarding (stem cells) in stroke which has been disc...

background: several studies have demonstrated the immunosuppresive effects of mes-enchymal stem cells (mscs) in allogeneic or mitogenic interactions. cell-cell contact inhibition and secretion of suppressive soluble factors have been suggested in this re-gard. objective: to investigate if adipose derived mscs could inhibit jurkat lym-phoblastic leukemia t cell proliferation during coculture. me...

Introduction: Chemokine receptors are found on the surface of stem cells. There have been 19 distinct chemokine receptors described in mammals. Chemokines are major players in migration and homing. Therefore, changes in their levels or function can help us to increase the migratory potential of these cells. Valproic acid differs in structure from other drugs in common use. The way in which Va...

background: due to increasing clinical demand for adipose tissue, a suitable cell for reconstructive adipose tissue constructs is needed. in this study, we investigated the ability of human endometrial-derived stem cells (enscs) as a new source of mesenchymal stem cells to differentiate into adipocytes. enscs are the abundant and easy available source with no immunological response, for cell re...

objective: the exfoliated human deciduous tooth (shed) contain multipotent stem cells that identified to be a population of highly proliferative and clonogenic .these cells are capable of differentiating into a variety of cell types including neural cells, adipocytes, and odontoblasts. material and methods: normal exfoliated human deciduous incisors collected from six- to nine-years-old childre...
