introduction: to evaluate the camp -mediated ibmx (3-isobutyle -1-methyl xanthin) and db-camp (dibutyryl camp) effects on differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hescs) into nerve cells were the objectives of this study. methods: we have used royan h1 hesc- derived embryoid bodies with four treatment groups: six days treatment with ibmx (5×10 -4m) and db-camp (10 -9m) (referred to as cam...

multiple sclerosis is an inflammatory disease of the central nervous system in which t cells experience a second phase of activation, which ultimately leads to axonal demyelination and neurological disability. the recent advances in stem cell therapies may serve as potential treatments for neurological disorders. there are broad types of stem cells such as neural, embryonic, mesenchymal and hem...

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...

introduction: stem cell biology has been the subject of much recent discussion. embryonic stem (es) cells, derived from the inner cell mass of the blastocyst stage of early mammalian embryos are expected to become a powerful tool in future regenerative medicine and developmental biology due to their capacity of self-renewal and pluripotency. in the present study, the ultrastructural development...

background: since embryonic stem (es) cells have the dual ability to proliferate indefinitely and differentiate into multiple tissue types, es cells could potentially provide an unlimited cell supply for human transplantation. objective: in order to study the differentiation of mouse embryonic stem (mes) cells, they were cultured in suspension by using es media without leukemia inhibitory facto...

background: epigenetic reprogramming of differentiated cells can modify somatic cells into pluripotential state. pluripotency can be induced in somatic cells by several approches. one of the easy ways to induce pluripotency is the exposure of the somatic cells to the embryonic stem cell (esc) extract. objective: the objective of this study was to increase the efficiency of reprogramming of gran...

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...

embryonic stem cells (escs) are originally derived from the icm of blastocysts and are characterized by their ability to self-renew and their pluripotencies. only a few reports have been published on esc isolations and line establishment in animals, even fewer in horses. however, it is still important to isolate equine escs for animal biotechnology and therapeutic applications. in the present s...

embryonic stem cells (escs) are pluripotent, self-renewing cells. these cells can be used in applications such as cell therapy, drug discovery, disease modelling, and the study of cellular differentiation. in this experimental study embryonic stem cells cultured in the laboratory and were amplified. total rna was extracted from cells and converted to cdna by reverse transcription-polymerase cha...
