Living Biointerfaces for the Maintenance of Mesenchymal Stem Cell Phenotypes

Material-Driven Fibronectin Assembly Promotes Maintenance of Mesenchymal Stem Cell Phenotypes

While we are starting to identify the range of materials properties that can be used to drive stem cell differentiation, there is much left to discover and understand. In addition, cells do not feel the surface of materials directly, but through an intermediate layer of adsorbed proteins. The conformation and distribution of this protein layer will determine integrin binding and the organizatio...

I-30: The Mesenchymal Stem Cell - The Origin of Endometriosis

Mesenchymal Stem Cell Purification from the Articular Cartilage Cell Culture

Objective Articular cartilage as an avascular skeletal tissue possesses limited capacity to heal. On the other hand, it is believed that the regeneration capacity of each tissue is largely related to its stem cell contents. Little is known about the presence of mesenchymal stem cells in articular cartilage tissue. This subject is investigated in the present study. Materials and Methods Artic...

Mesenchymal or Maintenance Stem Cell & Understanding their Role in Osteoarthritis of the Knee Joint: A Review Article

Mesenchymal Stem Cell (MSC) therapy in osteoarthritis has been hailed as a promising treatment for osteoarthritis dueto their unlimited potential of healing and regeneration. Existing literature regarding their proper name, optimal sources,mechanisms of action, dosage, and route of administration, efficacy, and safety is debatable. This index review articlehas tried to connect...

Mesenchymal stem cells as a reference cell for HLA-typing

Introduction: Recognition of human leukocyte antigens (HLA) is of importance for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Any HLA-mismatches between the donor and recipient can cause graft rejection or other complications. In HLA-typing experiments, usage of HLA-known reference cells accompany with HLA-unknown samples is obligatory. Some international centers represent these cells with high e...
