dental pulp stem cells (dpscs) can be found within the cell rich zone of dental pulp. these stem cells, under specific stimuli, differentiate into many cell types which have wide therapeutic applications.   the dental stem cells are derived from both deciduous and permanent teeth. the viable dental stem cells are very simple to collect, without any mortality and morbidity. dental pulp stem cell...

Background and objectives: Modeling cancer in vivo is a very important tool to investigate cancer pathogenesis and molecular mechanisms involved in cancer progression. Laboratory mice are the most common animal used for rebuilding human cancer in vivo. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are the main reason of failure in cancer therapy because of tumor relapse and metastasis. Isolation of cancer stem cell...

Traumatic brain injury is considered as one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Apart from primary mechanical injury, Secondary injuries due to inflammation and apoptosis result in great neuronal damage. Current treatments are not able to regenerate the damaged part and prevent future sequels. Using human stem cells with self-assembling scaffolds may be promising in treatme...

Introduction: Brain injury is an important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and so far, there has been no absolute treatment for the damaged brain tissue. Using human stem cells with self-assembling scaffolds can be a promising method for treatment of traumatic brain injury. Materials and Methods: Human meningioma stem cells were isolated, cultured and then expanded into in vitro cond...

objective adult stem cells which are derived from different tissues, with their unique abilities to self-renew and differentiate into various phenotypes have the potential for cell therapy and tissue engineering. human adipose tissue is an appropriate source of mesenchymal stem cells with wide differentiation potential for tissue engineering research. in this study isolated stem cells from huma...

new blood forming vessels are produced by differentiation of mesodermal precursor cells to angioblasts that become endothelial cells (ecs) which in turn give rise to primitive capillary network. human cord blood (hcb) contains large subsets of mononuclear cells (mncs) that can be differentiated into endothelial-like cells in vitro. human mononuclear progenitor cells were purified from fresh umb...

background:   objective: this study presents an economical and simple co-culture system for pluripotent stem cells generation from neonatal mouse testis   materials and methods: isolated testicular cells were cultured in dmem/f12. characteristics of the isolated cells and obtained es-like cell were immune-cytochemically confirmed by examining the presence of plzf, vimentin, oct4 and nanog prote...
