Objective(s): In some previous studies, the extract of embryonic carcinoma cells (ECCs) and embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have been used to reprogram somatic cells to more dedifferentiated state. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of mouse ESCs extract on the expression of some pluripotency markers in human adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs). Materials and Methods: Human A...

conclusions large amounts of preclinical studies have been made of stem cells and there is an increasing interest to perform these studies within the human population but preclinical studies are insufficient; therefore, much more and efficient studies should be conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of stem cells. context musculoskeletal injuries may be painful, troublesome, life limitin...

background: in recent years, adipose tissue, due to the stem cells contained within, has found a new special place in laboratory and clinical applications. these adipose‑derived stem cells (adscs) have the same characteristics of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (bmscs). although bone marrow (bm) is not easily accessible and its procurements may be painful, most patients possess excess fat wh...

Objective(s): Studies have confirmed that microgravity, as a mechanical factor, influences both differentiation and function of mesenchymal stem cells. Here we investigated the effects of simulated microgravity on neural differentiation of human adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs). Materials and Methods:We have used a fast rotating clinostat (clinorotation) to simulate microgravity condition. R...

BACKGROUND: Stem cells have great effects in clinical cell-based therapy. Accordingly, controlling the behavior and directing the fate of stem cells cultured in the laboratory is an important issue. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate osteogenic properties of adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) which differentiated toward osteogenic linage by osteoblast-imprinted substr...

previous studies have demonstrated the potential of monotherapy with either mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) or estrogen in autoimmune and cuprizone models of multiple sclerosis (ms). the aim of this study was to examine the effects of co-administration of 17β-estradiol (e2) and adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (adscs) on remyelination of corpus callosum axons in a cuprizone model of ms. for...

objective adult stem cells which are derived from different tissues, with their unique abilities to self-renew and differentiate into various phenotypes have the potential for cell therapy and tissue engineering. human adipose tissue is an appropriate source of mesenchymal stem cells with wide differentiation potential for tissue engineering research. in this study isolated stem cells from huma...

Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are excellent for regenerative medicine. Like mesenchymal stem cells, ADSCs possess multi-potent differentiation capacity that enables them to differentiate into osteoblasts, chondrocytes and adipocytes, as well as trans-differentiation into other cells. ADSC transplantation has gained attention in recent years, especially in vitro expanded ADSC transplantatio...
