A New Multistep Induction Protocol for the Transdifferentiation of Bone marrow Stromal Stem Cells into GABAergic Neuron-Like Cells
Background: Bone marrow stromal stem cells (BMSC) are appropriate source of multipotent stem cells that are ideally suited for use in various cell-based therapies. It can be differentiated into neuronal-like cells under appropriate conditions. This study examined the effectiveness of co-stimulation of creatine and retinoic acid in increasing the differentiation of BMSC into GABAergic neuron-lik...
متن کاملStem cells and bone: a historical perspective.
Bone physiology and stem cells were tightly intertwined with one another, both conceptually and experimentally, long before the current explosion of interest in stem cells and so-called regenerative medicine. Bone is home to the two best known and best characterized systems of postnatal stem cells, and it is the only organ in which two stem cells and their dependent lineages coordinate the over...
متن کاملStem Cells in Neurological Diseases: Indian Perspective
Stem cell therapy is under investigation in neurological diseases with currently sub optimal or no treatment available. They are hypothesized to produce new cells, or act as “chaperones or scaffolds” to repair and reconstruct neuronal circuitry and release the relevant neurotransmitters for ultimate functional improvement in the individual. They have the potential either to divide or multiply o...
متن کاملStem cells: new opportunities to treat eye diseases.
The recent identification and characterization of neural progenitors with stem cell properties has opened new avenues that may be useful for treating functional impairments caused by the death of specific neural cell populations. Neuronal degeneration is the cause of debilitating visual impairment associated with prevalent ocular diseases, such as retinitis pigmentosa (RP), age-related macular ...
متن کاملBone structure and formation: A new perspective
Bone is a hierarchically structured composite material which, in addition to its obvious biological value, has been well studied by the materials engineering community because of its unique structure and mechanical properties. This article will review the existing bone literature, with emphasis on the prevailing theories regarding bone formation and structure, which lay the groundwork for propo...
