Bone marrow contains mesenchymal cells that can be isolated and grown in vitro. Using appropriate treatment protocols such cultures can be induced to differentiate to yield osteoblasts, adipocytes, and chondrocytes. However, previous experiments had not addressed the question whether single pluripotent stem cells exist and can give rise to these different cell lineages or whether bone marrow me...

Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells derived from human placenta (pMSCs), and unrestricted somatic stem cells (USSCs) derived from cord blood share many properties with human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (bmMSCs) and are currently in clinical trials for a wide range of clinical settings. Here we present gene expression profiles of human cord blood-derived unrestricted somatic ...

Mesenchymal stem cells can be obtained from deferent tissues like adipose tissue, umbilical cord, placenta, skin, bone marrow, etc. These cells have regulatory effects on all types of immune cells such as dendritic cell, natural killers and lymphocytes. Mesenchymal stem cells induce inhibitory phenotypes of Antigen Presenting Cells (APCs) following their activity. They also change T cells pheno...

introduction: as an inherited neurodegenerative disease, huntington's disease is accompanied with wide neuronal degeneration in neostriatum and neocortex. progress of the disease causes disabling clinical effects on movements, recognition and physiology of the body, and finally results in death. at this stage of knowledge we are, there is no effective therapeutic strategy for diminishing t...

Previous studies have provided evidence for the existence of adult human bone marrow stromal stem cells (BMSSCs) or mesenchymal stem cells. Using a combination of cell separation techniques, we have isolated an almost homogeneous population of BMSSCs from adult human bone marrow. Lacking phenotypic characteristics of leukocytes and mature stromal elements, BMSSCs are non-cycling and constitutiv...

Human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (HBMSCs) have the potential to differentiate into cells such as adipocyte, osteocyte, hepatocyte and endothelial cells. In this study, the differentiation of hBMSCs into endothelial like-cells was induced in presence of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1). The differentiated endothelial cells were exam...

OBJECTIVE Although mesenchymal stem/stromal cells represent a promising therapeutic strategy for acute respiratory distress syndrome, clinical translation faces challenges, including scarcity of bone marrow donors, and reliance on bovine serum during mesenchymal stem/stromal cell proliferation. We wished to compare mesenchymal stem/stromal cells from human umbilical cord, grown in xeno-free con...

Liver disease is a major health problem that endangers human worldwide. Stem cells have the unique ability to morph or differentiate into different types of within body. In this way, stem can be used seek out damaged liver tissue and regenerate organ itself. Mesenchymal are multipotent self-renew cell types. other words, mesenchymal become variety including adipose tissue, cartilage, muscle, te...

Brain injuries that caused by strokes (result of intra partum ischemia) are a frequent cause of prenatal mortality and morbidity with limited therapeutic options. Transplanting human mesenchymal stem cells (hmscs) indicates improvement in hypoxic Ischemic brain injury (HIBD) by secretion growth factor stimulating repair processes (Hmscs) known as multi potent cells which isolated from bone marr...
