background: stem cell factor (scf) is a transcriptional factor which plays crucial roles in normal proliferation, differentiation and survival in a range of stem cells. objective: the aim of the present study was to examine the proliferation effect of different concentrations of scf on expansion of human endometrial cd146+ cells. materials and methods: in this experimental study, total populati...

introduction: bone marrow (bm) is a known source of mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) that are used for cell therapy. this study attempts to identify if the wharton’s jelly (wj) is a suitable substitute for bm as a source for mscs. materials and methods: a population of human wj and bm stem cells were isolated and incubated with fluorescein conjugated antibodies for five specific msc markers. cell ...

 Dental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSCs) can be found within the cell rich zone of dental pulp. These stem cells, under specific stimuli, differentiate into many cell types which have wide therapeutic applications.   The dental stem cells are derived from both deciduous and permanent teeth. The viable dental stem cells are very simple to collect, without any mortality and morbidity. Dental pulp stem c...

stem cells are undifferentiated self regenerating multi potential cells. there are three types of stem cells categories by the ability to form after cells and correlated with the body’s development process. totipotent: these stem cells can form an entire organism such as fertilized egg. ploripotent: ploripotent cells are those that can form any cell in the body but cannot form an entire organis...

the stem cells can be considered as the miracle of creation, because, they are a major reservoir of the bioactive factors, molecules and cells. these reservoir cells play a major role in development and growth of the tissues and organs. regardless of the differences in differentiation capacity of embryonic and adult stem cells, both the cells are rich sources of stem cells with therapeutic appl...

conclusions tissue engineering may open a new window in cleft palate reconstruction. stem cells and growth factors play key roles in this field. results we reported a summary of the key-points concerning cleft palate development, the genes involving this defect, current therapeutic strategies, recently novel aspects, and future advances in treatments for easy and fast understanding of the conce...

fluoxetine is a common antidepressant which selectively inhibits serotonin reuptake at synaptic level. some research findings have proposed the effect this drug on neurogenesis, neuronal survival as well as proliferation of the neural progenitor cells. endometrium is a part of uterus which harbors mesenchymal stem cells. this source of stem cells can be differentiated into neural cells which ma...

introduction: mesenchymal stem cells can be isolated from adult tissues, such as the adipose tissue, or other sources. among all these sources, adipose tissue because of easy access, and placenta due to its immunomodulatory properties, in addition to another useful properties, were attracted more attention to themselves. isolation and comparing these two different sources can help us for access...
