BACKGROUND There are no published studies on stem cells from equine cord blood although commercial storage of equine cord blood for future autologous stem cell transplantations is available. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have been isolated from fresh umbilical cord blood of humans collected non-invasively at the time of birth and from sheep cord blood collected invasively by a surgical intrauter...

abstract due to their mulitpotency, mesenchymal stem cells (mscs), have the ability to proliferate and differentiate into multiple mesodermal tissues. the aim of this study was to isolate mscs from human umbilical cord (hucmscs) to determine their osteogenic potential on nanofibrous scaffolds. to this end, poly (l-lactic acid) (plla)/nano hydroxyapatite (ha) composite nanofibrous scaffolds were...

Androgen deficiency is a physical disorder that not only affects adults but can also jeopardize children's health. Because there are many disadvantages to using traditional androgen replacement therapy, we have herein attempted to explore the use of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of androgen deficiency. We transplanted CM-Dil-labeled human umbilical cord mesenchym...

cord blood hematopoietic stem cells are widely used as an alternative source for hematopoietic stem cells transplant. increasing rate of patients who need hematopoietic stem cells transplant and many advantages of cord blood in comparison to bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells, have promoted banking of cord blood units. cord blood banking requires accurate steps in donor selection, cord blood ...

Umbilical cord blood (UCB) has been used for transplantation in the treatment of hematologic disorders as a source of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Because of insufficient number of cord blood CD34+ cells, the expansion of these cells seems to be important for clinical application. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), playing an important role in HSCs maintenance, were used as feeder layer. Apo...

Cord tissue fills the umbilical cord around the blood vessels and contains types of stem cells (mesenchymal stem cells or MSCs) that are not generally found in cord blood. MSCs are the stem cells that give rise to many of the "support tissues" in the body, including bone, cartilage, fat and muscle. Umbilical Cord Tissue cells (UCTs) possessing the capacity to differentiate into various cell typ...

BACKGROUND Mesenchymal stromal cells are employed in various different clinical settings in order to modulate immune response. However, relatively little is known about the mechanisms responsible for their immunomodulatory effects, which could be influenced by both the cell source and culture conditions. DESIGN AND METHODS We tested the ability of a 5% platelet lysate-supplemented medium to s...

Introduction. The need for arteriovenous fistula (AVF) as access to hemodialysis is increasing, but the failure rate of AVF maturity also relatively high. Umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have anti-inflammatory properties that can occur in homeostasis, repair, and regeneration pathological responses caused by vascular injury. This study aims determine how administering (MSC) affects...
