objective(s): umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (ucb-mscs) are ideally suited for use in various cell-based therapies. we investigated a novel induction protocol (nip) to improve the neuronal differentiation of human ucb-mscs under appropriate conditions. materials and methods: this experimental study was performed in iranian blood transfusion organization (ibto), tehran, i...

background: recently, stem cells have been considered for the treatment of heart diseases, but no marked improvement has been recorded. this is the first study to examine the functional and histological effects of the transplantation of human amniotic mesenchymal stromal cells (hamscs) in rats with heart failure (hf). methods: this study was conducted in the years 2014 and 2015. 35 male wistar ...

conclusions taken together, the combination of chemical and growth factors in the two-step induction protocol may improve the efficiency of msc differentiation into neural progenitor cells, and may be a new method for the easy and fast application of mscs in regenerative medicine in the future. results the results of real-time pcr showed that the expression of the gfap, mbp, and map-2 genes aft...

Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs), which also called mesenchymal stromal cells, are multipotent stem cell. Human MSCs typically are positive for the surface markers CD44, CD73, CD90, CD105, CD106, and also negative for hematopoietic markers CD34 and CD45.These cells can be isolated from postnatal bone marrow, adipose tissue, placenta, and scalp tissue, as well as from various fetal tissues. ...

Background: Mesenchymal stem cells are non-hematopoietic stromal cells that are used in the treatment of many chronic and autoimmune diseases by modulating the immune system. Due to the limitations of using autologous mesenchymal stem cells, the use of allogeneic stem cells is a promising therapeutic approach in the treatment of immunological disorders. This study aimed to investigate the abili...

The melanoma cell adhesion molecule defines mesenchymal stromal cells in the human bone marrow that regenerate bone and establish a hematopoietic microenvironment in vivo. The role of the melanoma cell adhesion molecule in primary human mesenchymal stromal cells and the maintenance of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells during ex vivo culture has not yet been demonstrated. We applied RNA in...

background: mesenchymal stromal cells (mscs) are employed in various different clinical settings in order to modulate immune response. human autologous and allogeneic supplements including platelet derivatives such as platelet lysate (pl), platelet-released factors (prf) and serum are assessed in clinical studies to replace fetal bovine serum (fbs). the immunosuppressive activity and multi-pote...

research about potential use of stem cells for the development of germ line cells in vitro had been challenged. in the present study, we reported a novel protocol consisting of cocktail growth factor addition for germ cell differentiation followed by transfection. the cells were purificated based on the expression on the cell surface of a protein. this protein is not present in normal cells of ...
