Mesenchymal stroma cells (MSCs) have a high potential for novel cell therapy approaches in clinical transplantation. Commonly used bone marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs), however, have a restricted proliferative capacity and cultures are difficult to standardize. Recently developed human embryonic stem cell-derived mesenchymal stroma cells (hES-MSCs) might represent an alternative and unlimited sou...

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 ...

conclusions our findings showed that the treatment of flaps with bm-msc and aam transplantations significantly promoted flap survival compared to a control group. the viability of the flap was improved by combining bm-mscs with aam matrix scaffolds. materials and methods bm-mscs and aams were transplanted into subcutaneous tissue in the flap area. on the 7th postoperative day, the surviving fla...

background: the aim of this study was to investigate the percentage of the stem cells population in human endometrial tissue sections and cultured cells at fourth passage. methods: human endometrial specimens were divided into two parts, one part for morphological studies and the other part for in vitro culture. full thickness of human normal endometrial sections and cultured endometrial cells ...

In recent years, a constant growth of knowledge and clinical applications of stem cells have been observed. Mesenchymal stromal cells, also described as mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) represent a particular cell type for research and therapy because of their ability to differentiate into mesodermal lineage cells. The most investigated source of MSCs is bone marrow (BM). Yet, collection of BM is ...

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a terminal neurodegenerative disease with only few minimally effective treatment options. This study treats patient Spinal ALS Bone Marrow Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell Extracellular Vesicles (BM-MSCEVs) to slow or stop the progress of disease. After 2 months and 4 treatments, demonstrated improvement in functional scores most physical exam findings. BM-MS...

in the bone marrow, there are certain populations of stem cell sources with the capacity to differentiate into several different types of cells. ideally, cell transplants would be readily obtainable, easy to expand and bank, and capable of surviving for sufficient periods of time. bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (bm-mscs) possess all of these characteristics. one of the most important benefi...

Objective(s): Cord blood (CB) is known as a valuable source of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC). Identifying strategies that enhance expansion and maintain engraftment and homing capacity of HSCs can improve transplant efficiency. In this study, we examined different culture conditions on ex vivo expansion and homing capacity of CB-HSCs. Materials and Methods: In this study, 4-5 different units o...

UNLABELLED Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can differentiate into multiple lineages through guidance from the biophysical and biochemical properties of the extracellular matrix. In this work we conduct a combinatorial study of matrix properties that influence adipogenesis and neurogenesis including: adhesion proteins, stiffness, and cell geometry, for mesenchymal stem cells derived from adipose t...
