Accumulated evidence demonstrates the existence of bone marrow-derived cells origin in the endometria of women undergoing bone marrow transplantation (BMT). In these reports, cells of a bone marrow (BM) origin are able to differentiate into endometrial cells, although their contribution to endometrial regeneration is not yet clear. We have previously demonstrated the functional relevance of sid...

Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common familiar gynecologic malignant tumor identified in the female reproductive system and has been increasing yearly. In this study, we will identify the surface markers and stem cell markers related with cancer stem cells (CSCs) of EC. Tissue samples were obtained from endometrial cancer patients during surgical procedures. Single cells were isolated from...

BACKGROUND Endometriosis is a gynaecological disorder that affects 6-10 % of female population. It is characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, most often in the pelvic peritoneum or ovaries. Recent studies have indicated that mesenchymal endometrial stem cells might get involved in endometriosis progression. Although germ line stem cells have been proved to exist ...

OBJECTIVE Intrinsic inflammatory characteristics play a pivotal role in stem cell recruitment and homing through migration where the subsequent change in niche has been shown to alter these characteristics. The bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (bmMSCs) have been demonstrated to migrate to the endometrium contributing to the stem cell reservoir and regeneration of endometrial tissue. Thus, the...

Stem cells in recent years have configured regenerative medicine with their wide range of therapeutic potentials. This revolutionary change has increased the demand of stem cells for myriad of diseases. Their ability to treat many diseases rests on their unique properties of self renewal and differentiation. Stem cells and its therapeutic implications from maternal sources such as Placenta [1],...

background: endometriosis is a complex estrogen-dependent disease that is defined as the presence of endometrial gland and stroma outside the uterine cavity. although the exact mechanism for the development of endometriosis remains unclear, there is a large body of research data and circumstantial evidence that suggests a crucial role of estrogen in the establishment and maintenance of this dis...

background:   objective: this study presents an economical and simple co-culture system for pluripotent stem cells generation from neonatal mouse testis   materials and methods: isolated testicular cells were cultured in dmem/f12. characteristics of the isolated cells and obtained es-like cell were immune-cytochemically confirmed by examining the presence of plzf, vimentin, oct4 and nanog prote...
