Many investigators have used xenogeneic, especially murine stromal cells and fetal calf serum to maintain and expand human stem cells. The proliferation and expansion of human hematopoietic stem cells in ex vivo culture were examined with the goal of generating a suitable protocol for expanding hematopoietic stem cells for patient transplantation. Using primary fetal liver cells, we established...

Objective(s): Cell therapy has provided clinical applications to the treatment of motor neuron diseases. The current obstacle in stem cell therapy is to direct differentiation of stem cells into neurons in the neurodegenerative disorders. Biomaterial scaffolds can improve cell differentiation and are widely used in translational medicine and tissue engineering. The aim...

Background: In this study, we examined a new two step induction protocol for improving the differentiation of human umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells into neural progenitor cells. Materials and Methods: Human umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells were first cultured in Dulbecco’s modified eagle medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum in a humidified incu...

background: spermatogonial stem cells (sscs), a subset of undifferentiated type a spermatogonia, are the foundation of complex process of spermatogenesis and could be propagated in vitro culture conditions for long time for germ cell transplantation and fertility preservation. objective: the aim of this study was in vitro propagation of human spermatogonial stem cells (sscs) and improvement of ...

introduction: dental pulp-derived mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) have emerged as a promising tool for use in regenerative medicine. the in vitro growth kinetic and culture requirement of the cells derived from human dental pulp, which is the subject of this present study, is poorly described. materials and methods: stem cells were derived from human third molar and then characterized. the in vit...

Stem cell-based therapy has great potential in treating health conditions including cardiovascular, autoimmune, type I diabetes, neurodegenerative and bone and cartilage diseases also in spinal cord injuries, malformations and cancer. In addition to their potential use to treat systemic diseases, stem cell-based therapy also provides a powerful tool to treat oral and dental diseases such as cra...

The Preventive Effect of Topical Administration Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells-Conditioned Medium (MSC-CM) on DNCB-Induced Atopic Dermatitis-Like Model in Mice

stem cell research has received considerable attention since the discovery that adult stem cells havethe capacity to form many different tissue types. stem cells are a booming field for the researchand have been extensively studied in the field of medicine, as well as dentistry. their applicationin oncology has been a boon to many of the patients. dental stem cells have been novel approachto tr...
