[ 1 ] - Effect of Sambucus ebulus extract on neural stem cell prolifration under oxidative stress condition

Background and Aim: Recently, several studies have indicated that the central nervous system has the capacity for endogenous repair. But, the proliferation capacity of endogenous neural stem cells (NSCs) isn’t sufficient for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. So, it sounds that stimulation of endogenous NSC proliferation is essential for neuroregeneration. The aim of this study ...

Materials and Methods: P19 Embryoid Bodies (EBs) was formed through hanging drops method. Then, EBs were treated with (5Az) or (OT) and the EB medium (Ct...

[ 4 ] - Spermatogonia stem cells: A new pluripotent source for repairment in regenerative medicine

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....

Materials and Methods: SSCs were cultured in two groups: The first group GDNF and LIF and the second group RA. The number of clumps and colony formation was monitored dur...

[ 6 ] - تاثیر گنادوتروپین جفتی انسانی بر اثرات تخریبی ناندرولون دکانوات بر روی پارامترهای اسپرم موش صحرایی بالغ

زمینه و هدف: ناندرولون دکانوات­ از مهم‌ترین داروهای آنابولیک آندروژنیک استروئید(AAS) است. از طرفی هورمون گنادوتروپین جفتی انسان(hCG) موجب تحریک ترشح تستوسترون و افزایش تولید آندروژن می‌گردد. بنابراین هدف از این مطالعه بررسی تغییرات ناشی از تاثیرات این هورمون بر اثرات تخریبی دارویی ASSدر بافت‌ها و سلول‌های دستگاه تناسلی نر موش صحرایی بود. روش بررسی: در این مطالعه تجربی، موش‌های صحرایی نر به پنج...

[ 7 ] - تأثیر DMSO در القای تمایز کاردیومیوسیت ها از سلول های کارسینومای جنینی P19در شرایط آزمایشگاهی

مقدمه: در مطالعه حاضر توانایی تمایز سلول های کارسینومای جنینی P19در غلظت های مختلف DMSO به کاردیومیوسیت ها مورد ارزیابی قرار گرفت. مواد و روش ها: جهت تمایز سلول های P19، اجسام شبه جنینی(Embryoid Bodies,EBs) به روش قطرات آویزان طی 2 روز تشکیل شدند. سپسEBs به مدت 18 روز تحت القائات غلظت های مختلف DMSO 1/0 درصد، 5/0 درصد، 1 درصد، 5/1 درصد، 2 درصد قرار گرفتند. طی تمایز تعداد ضربان در دقیقه هر سه ر...

[ 8 ] - محافظت نورون های دوپامینرژیکی به وسیله جینکولاید در بیماری پارکینسون مدل 6-هیدروکسی دوپامین

Background and purpose: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a prevalent movement disorder in elderly with progressive motor complications due to antioxidant defense system deficiency and accumulation of degraded proteins in dopaminergic neurons of midbrain. Ginkgolide is biologically active terpenic lactones as a polyphenol, with potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The present study ai...

[ 10 ] - The effect of BMP4 on mouse embryonic stem cell proliferation and differentiation into primordial germ cells

Background and Aim: Artificial gamete production from stem cells is a novel strategy for treatment of infertility. Among various stem cell sources, embryonic stem cells (ESC) can be considered as an appropriate source for in vitro formation of germ cells. In this study we evaluated the effect of BMP4 on proliferation and differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells into primordial germ cells (...

[ 11 ] - Cardiogel as an Instructive Microenvironment for in vitro Differentiation of Bone Marrow- Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells into Cardiomyocytes

Background: Stem cell therapy has been developed as an effective treatment method for the heart failure. Also, extracellular matrix has shown the positive effects in stem cell differentiation and myocardial tissue organization. Cardiogel is a native cardiac extracellular matrix (ECM) derived from cardiac fibroblasts. In the present study the role of cardiogel is examin...
