Therapeutic angiogenesis can be induced by the implantation of bone marrow mononuclear cells. We investigated the roles of mature mononuclear cell and stem cell fractions in bone marrow in this treatment. Although CD34 is the most popular marker for stem cell selection for inducing therapeutic angiogenesis, we separated CD117-positive cells (CD117+) from mature bone marrow mononuclear cells [CD...

The existence of stem cells committed to the T lymphoid lineage was deduced from studying how rat T and B stem cells differ in their expression of membrane W3/13 antigen and in their susceptibility in vivo to gamma irradiation. Stem cell activity of rat bone marrow and fetal liver was measured in long-term radiation chimeras using B and T cell alloantigenic surface markers to identify the proge...

objective(s) arsenic compounds are potent human carcinogen and produce a variety of stress responses in mammalian cells. recently sodium arsenite has been recommended to be used as anti malignancy drug by american food and drug administration (fda). in this study, we aimed to determine the apoptosis inducing effect of sodium arsenite on rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells exposed in vitro. m...

background: perioglasâ (pg) is an alloplastic material used for grafting periodontal osseous defects since 1995. in animal models, it has been proven that pg achieves histologically good repair of surgically created defects. in clinical trials, pg was effective as an adjunct to conventional surgery in the treatment of intrabony defects. because the molecular events due to pg that are able to al...

BACKGROUND CD97 is a member of the epidermal growth factor-seven transmembrane (EGF-TM7) family of adhesion receptors and is broadly expressed on hematopoietic cells. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of CD97 on hematopoietic stem- and progenitor cells (HSC/HPC). DESIGN AND METHODS CD97 expression on hematopoietic stem- and progenitor cells was studied in BALB/c, C57BL/6...

  Stem cells are naïve or master cells. This means they can transform into special 200 cell types as needed by body, and each of these cells has just one function. Stem cells are found in many parts of the human body, although some sources have richer concentrations than others. Some excellent sources of stem cells, such as bone marrow, peripheral blood, cord blood, other tissue stem cells and ...

conclusions although the aforementioned challenges must still be addressed, the potential of wjmscs in skin regenerative clinical treatments is promising. results similar to bone marrow mscs, wjmscs express major histocompatibility complex (mhc) class i molecules. evidence acquisition according to research conducted by various researchers, wharton’s jelly mesenchymal stem cells (wjmscs) have se...

introduction: cyclosporin a (cya) is a potent immunosuppressive drug widely used in transplant settings due to its specific inhibition of t–cell activation. several studies have reported the synergistic effect of cya with hematopoietic growth factor in colony culture of mice bone marrow. we studied the effect of il-3, il-6, scf,cya and nutrition medium ( condition medium - pha) on the developme...

Bone marrow transplantation is an accepted therapy for hematologic malignancies, aplastic anemia, metabolic disorders, and solid tumors. However, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and failure of engraftment have limited the widespread application of this technology to nonmalignant disease states. The use of purified bone marrow stem cells has been suggested as an approach to promote engraftment ...

Bone repair requires the mobilization of adult skeletal stem cells/progenitors to allow deposition of cartilage and bone at the injury site. These stem cells/progenitors are believed to come from multiple sources including the bone marrow and the periosteum. The goal of this study was to establish the cellular contributions of bone marrow and periosteum to bone healing in vivo and to assess the...
