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...

Abstract The omentum, a visceral adipose tissue, is frequent site of metastasis for gastric and ovarian cancers. Advanced cancer almost always metastasizes to the omentum. Currently available therapies do not control tumor growth long-term there recurrence metastasis. In mice, cells injected intraperitoneally implant in omentum grow progressively despite tumor-specific CD8 T cells. lack effecti...

Milky spots are opaque patches in the greater omentum. They were first described by von Recklinghausen (1863) in the omentum of rabbits. In man, milky spots are relatively uniform, highly vascularized accumulations of mononuclear cells. The objective of this study was to describe in human omental lymphoid tissue components with S-100. Tissue samples (greater omentum) were collected from 14 pati...

The global obesity epidemic is contributing to increased prevalence of diseases fuelled by chronic inflammation, including cancer. Oesophageal adenocarcinoma (OAC) an obesity-associated malignancy with increasing prevalence, dismal prognosis, and severely dysregulated immune processes. We previously reported that αβ T cells migrate omentum liver in OAC contribute inflammation these tissues. Her...

objective(s): mesenchyme is a type of undifferentiated loose connective tissue that is derived mostly from mesoderm. recently, mesenchymal stem cells (mscs), as adult stem cells (ascs) able to divide into a variety of different cells, are of utmost importance for stem cell research. in this research, ability of the liver extract to induce differentiation of rat derived omentum tissue mesenchyma...

BACKGROUND The wound healing properties of the human omentum are well known and have extensively been exploited clinically. However, the underlying mechanisms of these effects are not well understood. We hypothesize that the omentum tissue promotes wound healing via modulation of anti-inflammatory pathways, and because the omentum is rich in adipocytes, the adipocytes may modulate the anti-infl...

The omentum is a sheet-like tissue attached to the greater curvature of the stomach and contains secondary lymphoid organs called milky spots. The omentum has been used for its healing potential for over 100 years by transposing the omental pedicle to injured organs (omental transposition), but the mechanism by which omentum helps the healing process of damaged tissues is not well understood. O...

The omentum is of interest in the context of obesity-related metabolic disease where adipose tissue exhibits inflammatory changes; however, the immunology of the omentum is underexplored. The greater omentum is draped from the stomach and consists predominantly of adipose tissue studded with lymphoreticular aggregations (milky spots) that distinguish it from other visceral adipose tissues. Milk...
