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...

introduction : use of adipose-derived stem cells (adscs) is a suggested hypothesis to enhance the regeneration of bone defects. this technique is of particular interest since adscs are more easily accessible via a non-invasive harvesting technique compared to bone marrow stem cells (bmscs). this study sought to assess the efficacy of adsc implantation for regeneration of localized mandibular bo...

background: characteristics of differentiated osteoblasts from adipose derived stem cells (adscs) in compared with isolated osteoblasts from normal bone such as calvaria are unknown. the aim of this study was determination and comparison of phenotypic characterization between differentiated osteoblasts from stem cells and calvaria osteoblasts in vitro . methods: in this study, mesenchymal stem ...

helicobacter pylori was the main cause of gastric cancer (gc) in all over the world that results in intestinal- and diffuse-type carcinoma. infection by this bacterium remains chronic for a long time. in vitro studies have highlighted the role of stem cells in gc. h. pylori infection results in tissue injury and the adult/tissue stem cells subsequently start to replace the dead cells. the genet...

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(s): adipose derived stem cells (adscs) can be engineered to express bone specific markers. the aim of this study is to evaluate repairing tibia in animal model with differentiated osteoblasts from autologous adscs in alginate scaffold. materials and methods: in this study, 6 canine’s adscs were encapsulated in alginate and differentiated into osteoblasts. alkaline phosphatase assay (a...

objective(s):cardiomyocytes have small potentials for renovation and proliferation in adult life. the most challenging goal in the field of cardiovascular tissue engineering is the creation of an engineered heart muscle. tissue engineering with a combination of stem cells and nanofibrous scaffolds has attracted interest with regard to cardiomyocyte creation applications. human adipose-derived s...

background: the aim of this study was optimization of the polyfect gene delivery method of pcdna3.1 expression vector transfected with the mouse pdx-1 gene in three different kinds of mesenchymal stem cells and hepa cells as well as comparison of transfection efficiency leading to expression of the mentioned gene in the cell types used. materials and methods: rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal...

objective(s): platelet-rich plasma (prp) has recently emerged as a promising strategy in regenerative medicine due to its multiple endogenous growth factors. little is known about the role of prp as a promoter in chondrogenesis of human adipose derived stem cells (hadscs). the aim of this study was to determine whether prp may be considered as a natural and easy achievable source of growth fact...
