introduction: stromal cells having preadipocyte characteristics can be isolated from adipose tissue, propagated in vitro and induced to differentiate in vitro toward the osteogenic, adipogenic, myogenic and chondrogenic lineages when treated with established lineage-specific factors. in this research we isolated stromal cells from human adipose tissue and cultured and expanded and examined thei...

Research of the past decade has increased our understanding of the role adipose tissue plays in health and disease. Adipose tissue is now recognized as a highly active metabolic and endocrine organ. Adipocytes are of importance in buffering the daily influx of dietary fat and exert autocrine, paracrine and/or endocrine effects by secreting a variety of adipokines. The normal function of adipose...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The high level of metabolic activity present in visceral adipose tissue is associated with the development of atherothrombosis. Subcutaneous adipose tissue secretes larger quantities of the adipocytokines leptin and adiponectin than visceral adipose tissue. Epicardial adipose tissue secretes inflammatory mediators, and the resulting proinflammatory activity is greate...

Background: Adipose tissue is a main source for isolation of equine mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) at different ages. It seems that characteristics of adipose-derived MSCs especially gene expression profile are changing along with age increase. A proper reference gene is required for normalizing data in gene expression analysis by qRT-PCR. This study aimed to evaluate whether GAPDH has a stable ...

Dendritic myxofibrolipoma is a newly described benign soft tissue tumor that could be easily mistaken for sarcoma. It develops primarily in the subcutis or muscular fascia of the head and neck, shoulders, etc. Histologically, the tumor is characterized by an admixture of mature adipose tissue, spindle and stellate cells, and abundant myxoid stroma with prominent collagenization. These neoplasms...

Soft tissue is defined as the complex of non epithelial extraskeletal structures of the body exclusive of the supportive tissue of the various organs and the hematopoietic/lymphoid tissue. It is composed of fibrous tissue, adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, blood and lymph vessels and peripheral nervous system. Soft tissue tumours constitute a large and heterogenous group of neoplasms. These tumo...

Neoplasms in sinonasal cavity are dominated by epithelial type. Sinonasal osteomas common, benign, slow-growing, often asymptomatic neoplasms occurring mainly the frontal and ethmoid sinuses. Peripheral nevre sheath tumors soft tissue rarely encountered region. Schwannoma is a benign peripheral tumor. Here, we presented co-occurence of osteoma schwannoma. So far, infiltrated schwannoma region n...
