aims: to evaluate the effect of mouse fallopian tube cell co-culture on the proliferation of human endometrial stromal cells. materials and methods: the endometrial cells were collected from the uterus under hysteroscopy. then the cells were isolated withcollagenase type 3 and passed within the filters with 150 and 40 micrometer sizes respectivelyand then the isolated cells were cultured in dme...

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...

background: due to increasing clinical demand for adipose tissue, a suitable cell for reconstructive adipose tissue constructs is needed. in this study, we investigated the ability of human endometrial-derived stem cells (enscs) as a new source of mesenchymal stem cells to differentiate into adipocytes. enscs are the abundant and easy available source with no immunological response, for cell re...

background: the aim of this study was to investigate the percentage of the stem cells population in human endometrial tissue sections and cultured cells at fourth passage. methods: human endometrial specimens were divided into two parts, one part for morphological studies and the other part for in vitro culture. full thickness of human normal endometrial sections and cultured endometrial cells ...

BACKGROUND Endometrial stem/progenitor cells contribute to the cyclical regeneration of human endometrium throughout a woman's reproductive life. Although the candidate cell populations have been extensively studied, no consensus exists regarding which endometrial population represents the stem/progenitor cell fraction in terms of in vivo stem cell activity. We have previously reported that hum...

BACKGROUND Human endometrium is a highly regenerative tissue. We hypothesized that the source of endometrial stromal and vascular regeneration is a resident stromal stem/progenitor cell population. Putative human endometrial stromal stem/progenitor cells have been identified using clonal assays, a retrospective functional stem cell assay. Therefore, the aim of this study was to screen potential...

s:3115:"Background: During reproductive life, the human endometrium undergoes around 500 cycles of growth, breakdown and regeneration. This outstanding regenerative capability is the basis for cyclic endometrial preparation and its dysfunction is involved in pathological disorders. Endometrial regeneration is mediated by the existence of a specialized endometrial stem cell (SC) population recen...
