multipotent mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) are recently found to alter the tumor condition. however their exact role in tumor development is not yet fully unraveled. mscs were established to perform many of their actions through paracrine effect. thus investigation of msc secretome interaction with tumor cells may provide important information for scientists who are attempting to apply stem cell...

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...

Objective(s): In this paper, we discussed natural agents with protective effects against stem cell senescence. Different complications have been observed due to stem cell senescence and the most important of them is “Aging”. Senescent cells have not normal function and their secretary inflammatory factors induce chronic inflammation in body which causes different patho...

introduction: doxorubicin is frequently used for treatment of several types of cancer. doxorubicin cardiac toxicity has limited the use of this drug. corticosteroids may prevent doxorubicin induced cardiotoxicity. therefore the aim of this study was to evaluate mouse embryonic stem cells derived cardiomyocytes as a model to evaluate the effect of doxorubicin and dexamethasone. methods: mouse em...

differentiation is an epigenetic process which is installed by changes of transcriptional programs over successive cellular divisions. a number of studies have reported the effects of biochemical modifications of chromatin (dna and chromatin proteins) on the regulation of transcription. although, these studies are able to explain how transcription of a given gene is regulated (toward activation...

Corticosteroids may prevent doxorubicin induced cardiotoxicity. Therefore the aim of this study was to evaluate mouse embryonic stem cells derived cardiomyocytes as a model to evaluate the effect of Doxorubicin and dexamethasone. Methods: Mouse ...

Introduction: Amniotic membrane, the innermost layer of extra-embryonic tissue, contains mesenchymal and epithelial stem cells. The amniotic mesenchymal cells have the capability of inhibition of growth of cancer cells. In this research, the effects of amniotic epithelial cells on the viability of cancer cells and the role of apoptosis in this procedure were evaluated. Methods: Amniotic mem...

background: during the resent years there has been interest in using bone marrow stem cells to treat liver cirrhosis. however, there is a potential concern for malignant transformation after stem cell therapy. the aim of this study was to evaluate the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) after autologous bone marrow stem cell transplantation for liver cirrhosis. methods: all the patien...
