the importance of mesenchymal stem cells (mscs), as adult stem cells (ascs) able to divide into a variety of different cells is of utmost importance for stem cell researches. in this study, the ability of cartilage extract to induce differentiation of rat derived omentum tissue mscs (rot-mscs) into chondrocyte cells (ccs) was investigated. after isolation of rot-mscs, they were co-cultured with...

In this study we examined enhancement effects of Artemisinin plus Glucantime and shark cartilage extract, on promastigotes and amastigotes of L.infantum in in vitro condition.The toxicity of artemisinin, glucantime and shark cartilage extract on the L. infantum promastigotes and amastigote-infected macrophages was evaluated using MTT assay. The role of these drugs in inducing apoptosis in proma...

In this paper, we present a growth mixture model for cartilage. The main features of this model are illustrated in a simple equilibrium boundary-value problem that is chosen to illustrate how a mechanical theory of cartilage growth may be applied to growth-related experiments on cartilage explants. The cartilage growth mixture model describes the independent growth of the proteoglycan and colla...
