The Use of Stem Cells for Treatment of Premature Ovulation Failure and Generation of Oocytes
نویسنده
چکیده
Background: Premature Ovarian Failure (POF) is a life-changing condition that affects 1% of women under the age of 40. POF is also known as premature menopause, and hyper gonadotropic hypogonadism; POF can be primary (spontaneous) or secondary which is usually induced by radiation, chemotherapy or surgery. It comprises of amenorrhea, high menopausal levels of gonadotropin and sex steroid deficiency. The use of mesenchymal stem cells in treatment of POF has been reviewed using different sources of MSCs of umbilical cord, bone marrow transplantation, amniotic fluid and adipose tissue. Many authors have highlighted the importance of re-establishment of hormone or cytokine profiles supporting stem cell follicular development is crucial for the improvement of both the damaged ovary function and fertility recovery.

Background Since the success rate in older poor-responder (POR) infertile women is expected to be extremely low irrespective of the treatment protocol, clinicians continue the search for biomarkers which may predict cases in which proceeding with follicle aspiration may be appropriate. Experimental studies on murine model suggest that SCF(Stem- Cell-Factor) produced by ovarian cumulus granulosa...

Liver failure, in an acute or chronic form, is a growing health problem ranking as one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Inborn errors of metabolism characterized by defects in hepatic enzymes or other proteins with metabolic functions, such as receptors or transporters accompanied with environmental factors involve etiology and presentation of liver failure. Currently, the only establi...
متن کاملSpecification of Hemato-Endothelial-Like Structures and Generation of Hematopoietic Progenitor Cells from Human Pluripotent Stem Cells
Background and purpose: Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) with the ability to differentiate into adult cells have provided a new perspective for treatment of some diseases. But, the efficiency of differentiation methods to generate hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) is faced with multiple challenges. In the present study, we investigated the formation of hemato-endothelial-like structure...

Recently new reports have proved the pluripotency of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) derived from male gonad. This pluripotent stem cells resembled Embryonic stem cells recognized as Embryonic Stem like cells (ES like cells). ES like cells forms sharp edge colonies that are immunopositive to pluripotency markers and have differentiation capacity to Ectodermal, Mesodermal and Endodermal layers....
