BACKGROUND & AIMS Liver transplantation is the primary treatment for various end-stage hepatic diseases but is hindered by the lack of donor organs and by complications associated with rejection and immunosuppression. There is increasing evidence to suggest the bone marrow is a transplantable source of hepatic progenitors. We previously reported that multipotent bone marrow-derived mesenchymal ...

Heart failure is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. End stage disease often requires heart transplantation, which is hampered by donor organ shortage. Tissue engineering represents a promising alternative approach for cardiac repair. For the generation of artificial heart muscle tissue several cell types, scaffold materials and bioreactor designs are under investigation. In this revi...

 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 c...

Mesenchymal stem cell-derived multivesicular bodies: Is it innovative novel cell-based therapeutic adjunct for trauma hemorrhagic shock patients? - IJIRM- Print ISSN No: 2581-4214 Online No:- 2581-4222 Article DOI 10.18231/j.ijirm.2023.009, IP Indian Journal of Immunology and Respiratory Medicine-IP

background: due to increasing clinical demand for adipose tissue, a suitable cell for reconstructive adipose tissue constructs is needed. in this study, we investigated the ability of human endometrial-derived stem cells (enscs) as a new source of mesenchymal stem cells to differentiate into adipocytes. enscs are the abundant and easy available source with no immunological response, for cell re...

introduction: mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) hold great promise in the field of regenerative medicine.although originally isolated from bone marrow, mscs have since been obtained from a variety of adult and neonatal tissues including the adipose tissue. stemness and multipotential features of mesenchymal stem cells (msc) has been highlighted in many studies but there are many dark aspects in exc...

Objective(s): In some previous studies, the extract of embryonic carcinoma cells (ECCs) and embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have been used to reprogram somatic cells to more dedifferentiated state. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of mouse ESCs extract on the expression of some pluripotency markers in human adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs). Materials and Methods: Human A...

background: mesenchymal stem cells (msc) have ability to regulate immune response via proinflamatory cytokines. in this study we aimed to investigate the effect of different mechanism for t cell activation and adjacency on immunoregulatory properties of msc. methods: bone marrow mscs were purchased and t cells were obtained from whole blood sample. t cells were activated by two different mechan...
