Mesenchymal stem cells isolated from rats are frequently used for tissue engineering research. However, considerable differences have been identified between rat mesenchymal stem cells and those derived from humans, and no defined panel of markers currently exists for the isolation of these cells. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of cell sorting for CD29(+)/CD90(+) cells from ra...

introduction: in this study, the effect of para-nonylphenol as an environmental pollutant on viability, morphology and proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells was investigated. methods: bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells of rat were treated with the 0.5, 1, 2.5, 3.5 and 5 μm of paranonylphenol for a period of 21 days, then the viability of the cells were estimated using trypan blue ...

Objective(s):Some evidence showed that calcitriol has an important role in regulating growth and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). However, the interaction between mesenchymal stem cells and macrophage is not clear yet.  The current study was done to investigate the in vitro effects of calcitriol on the interactions between bone marrow-derived MSCs and rat macrophages. Material...

Rabbits have the capacity to regenerate holes in their ears by forming a blastema, a tissue that is made up of a group of undifferentiated cells. The purpose of the present study was to isolate and characterize blastema progenitor cells and compare them with marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Five New Zealand white male rabbits were used in the present study. A 2-mm hole was created in the a...

objective: demyelination of cns axons occurs under pathological conditions such as multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injuries, but can be repaired by cell therapy. within the cns remyelination can be achieved by transplantation of neural stem cells (nscs). nscs are self-renewing cells that maintain the capacity to differentiate into cns-specific cell types and can differentiate into the three ...

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can differentiate into neurons and astrocytes after transplantation in the spinal cord of rats with ischemia/reperfusion injury. Although bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells are known to protect against spinal cord ischemia/reperfusion injury through anti-apoptotic effects, the precise mechanisms remain unclear. In the present study, bone marrow mesenchymal ste...

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: adipose-derived stem cells (adsc) could be an appealing alternative to bone marrow stem cells (bmsc) for engineering cell-based osteoinductive grafts. meanwhile, prior studies have demonstrated that melatonin can stimulate osteogenic differentiation. therefore, we assayed and compared the melatonin effect on osteogenic differentiation of bmsc with that of adsc. methods: mesenchymal ...
