multiple sclerosis is an inflammatory disease of the central nervous system in which t cells experience a second phase of activation, which ultimately leads to axonal demyelination and neurological disability. the recent advances in stem cell therapies may serve as potential treatments for neurological disorders. there are broad types of stem cells such as neural, embryonic, mesenchymal and hem...

background: mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) are undifferentiated cells that can differentiate and divide to other cell types. transplantation of these cells to the different organs is used for curing various diseases. objective: the aim of this research was whether mscs transplantation could treat the sterile testes. materials and methods: in this experimental study, donor mscs were isolated from...

low-intensity laser therapy (lilt) is defined to supply direct biostimulative light energy to the cells. while several studies have demonstrated that lilt has stimulating effects on bone cells and can accelerate the repair process of the bone, others reported delayed fracture healing or no effects after lilt. the aim of this article was to review the studies evaluating the biomodulation effects...

stem cell-based therapies have recently opened up new horizons for treatment of various types of diseases including diabetes mellitus. however, long-term efficacy and safety of these novel modalities still remain a serious question. hereby, we aim to report the one-year follow-up results in the diabetic patients who underwent fetal liver-derived hematopoietic stem cell allotransplantation. fift...

spinal cord injury (sci) is a destructive condition that the cord can't send signals below the level of the injury. despite advances in the medical and surgical care of sci patients, no effective treatment exists for the neurological deficits of sci. cell therapy is a new approach for sci, and preclinical models demonstrate that cell transplantation can improve some secondary events throug...

conclusions according to the results of the present study, it can be concluded that adipose derived mscs can be cultured in serum-free media with no change in their differentiating capacity. this finding gives us a hope for future cell therapy studies and trials with little concern about zoonotic infections or immunological reaction. results the isolated cells showed adherent spindle shaped mor...

stem cell-based therapy has great potential in treating health conditions including cardiovascular, autoimmune, type i diabetes, neurodegenerative and bone and cartilage diseases also in spinal cord injuries, malformations and cancer. in addition to their potential use to treat systemic diseases, stem cell-based therapy also provides a powerful tool to treat oral and dental diseases such as cra...

amniotic epithelial cells (aecs) possess unique characteristics, which make them a suitable source for cell-based therapeutic strategies. aecs have stem cell properties with low-immunogenicity (due to expressing hla-g molecule and absence of mhc class i and ii antigens) and no ethical problems, as well as availability in sufficient numbers, which can be obtained from a placenta. we have recentl...

in this study, our aim was to produce a generation of gmp-grade adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells for clinical applications. according to our results, we fulfill to establish consistent and also reproducible current good manufacturing practice (cgmp) compliant adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells from five female donors. the isolated cells were cultured in dmem supplemented...
