Background: Due to high differentiation potential and self-renewality, Mesenchymal Stem Cells are now widely considered by researchers in several diseases. FBS is used as a supplement in culture media for proliferation, differentiation, and other culture processes of MSCs, which is associated with transmission risk of a variety of infections as well as immune responses. PRGF derived from platel...

background: unrestricted somatic stem cells (ussc) are cord blood stem cells that have been considered as candidates for the regulation of immune responses. therefore, potential exists for their use in the suppression of immune response after transplantation surgery. objective: the aim of this study was evaluation of the effect of ussc on mixed lymphocyte reaction (mlr) as a model for graft rej...

Background: Natural killer (NK) cells originate from the differentiation of hematopoietic stem (HSCs) in common lymphoid progenitor pathway, and HSCs can be obtained umbilical cord blood (UCB). Comparative studies NK cell between cultured freshly isolated are important development therapy for cancer. This study aimed to compare maturation stages newly HSC samples using interleukin-2 absence fee...

background: mesenchymal stem cells (msc) are a very promising transplantable stem cell source for a variety of cell replacement therapies. as the main source of msc is bone marrow (bm), most of studies have been done on bm-derived msc (bm-msc). umbilical cord (uc)-derived msc (uc-msc) which are recently introduced, is one of the good alternative source for these cells. the objective of this stu...

introduction: various neuroregenerative procedures have been recently employed along with neurorehabilitation programs to promote neurological function after spinal cord injury (sci), and recently most of them have focused on the acute stage of spinal cord injury. in this report, we present a case of acute sci treated with neuroprotective treatments in conjunction with conventional rehabilitati...
