Mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) possess the ability to self-renew and differentiate into other cell types. Because of their anti-inflammatory immunomodulatory abilities, as well more ready availability compared stem sources, MSCs hold great promise for treatment many diseases, such haematological defects, acute respiratory distress syndrome, autoimmunity, cardiovascular etc. However, immu...

Stem cell-based cellular therapy is a promising tool for the treatment of pathological conditions with underlying severe tissue damage or malfunction like in chronic cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, inflammatory conditions. One biggest technical challenges use natural stem cells, however, prevention their premature senescence during therapeutical manipulations. Culturing cells under hypoxic bel...

Despite high interests on microenvironmental regulation of leukemic cells, little is known for bone marrow (BM) niche in leukemia patients. Our recent study on BMs of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients showed that the mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are altered during leukemic conditions in a clinical course-dependent manner. Leukemic blasts caused reprogramming of transcriptomes in MSCs an...

background: repeated implantation failure (rif) is one of the most intricate obstacles in assisted reproduction. the cytokine and chemokine composition of uterine cavity seem to play important roles in the implantation process. objective: to compare the cytokine profile in the endometrium of normal fertile women and those with repeated implantation failure. methods: after enzymatic digestion of...
