background:  renal transplantation is the best choose in the end stage renal disease (esrd), and acute rejection and graft dysfunction remain major challenges in the worldwide, even with the advent of new immunosuppressive drugs. the novel cell-based anti-rejection treatments have been studied by using different stem cell sources. in this study, transplantation of autologous-bone-marrow-derived...

Rabbits have the capacity to regenerate holes in their ears by forming a blastema, a tissue that is made up of a group of undifferentiated cells. The purpose of the present study was to isolate and characterize blastema progenitor cells and compare them with marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Five New Zealand white male rabbits were used in the present study. A 2-mm hole was created in the a...

Objective- To investigate the effect of intratendinous injection of bMSCs on the rate and extent of tendon healing after primary repair in a rabbit model. Design- Experimental study. Animals- Twenty seven skeletally mature New Zealand white rabbits weighing 1.8- 2.5 kg were used. Twenty rabbits were used as the experimental animals, and seven others were used as a source of bone marrow-derived ...

introduction: an investigation of bone, cartilage and fat differentiation potentials of canine bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells. materials and methods: bone marrow aspirates were obtained from 10 canine’s iliac crest under general anesthesia. each sample was separately loaded on lymphodex and centrifuged at 1200 rpm for ten minutes to obtain mononuclear cell fraction. 5×104 cell/cm2 o...

Background: There are multiple methods for acceleration of bone healing. Bone marrow has been shown to contain osteoprogenitor cells. Objective: To determine the effect of percutaneous bone marrow injection on bone healing. Methods: 15 mature, 2-kg-weighing white New Zealand rabbits from both sexes were randomized into 3 groups: Group I: Only osteotomy of right radius was performed and a 5 mm b...
