epilepsy as one of the most common neurological disorders affects more than 50 million people worldwide with a higher prevalence rate in low-income countries. excessive electrical discharges in neurons following neural cell damage or loss cause recurrent seizures. one of the most common and difficult to treat types of epilepsy is temporal lobe epilepsy (tle) which results from hippocampal scler...

Studies of T cell-mediated immunity in the human female genital tract have been problematic due to difficulties associated with the collection of mucosal samples. Consequently, most studies rely on biopsies from the lower female genital tract or remnant tissue from hysterectomies. Availability of samples from healthy women is limited, as most studies are carried out in women with underlying pat...

post-remission treatment in patients with acute myeloid leukemia is still controversial. one potent choice for patients with no donor available is autologous stem cell transplantation. the median follow-up period was 18 months and the median age was 26 years old. in the review of 116 recently diagnosed aml patients (except aml- m3) who underwent autologous stem cell transplantation, 72.4% of pa...

Cord blood is a sample of blood taken from a newborn baby's umbilical cord.Cord blood is collected because it is rich in stem cells content, such as hematopoietic cells, which can be used to treat hematopoietic and genetic disorders. Cord Blood Transplantation has been used in the treatment of over 80 diseases, including leukemia, lymphoma and anemia. Advantages of Cord Blood Treatment: • ...

Thalassemia is one of the most common genetic disorders, worldwide.Beta-Thalassemia Major (BTM) is the most severe type, which reduces lifeexpectancy and quality of life. In this study, we searched the related keywords to subject from 1996-2019 in the Medline and Web of Science databases, therefore found 250 articles. Moreover, we categorized them into the studies on blood transfusions in...

Stem cell transplantation, which is based on the application of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs), is a rapidly developing approach to the regenerative therapy of various degenerative disorders characterized by brain and heart failure, as well as skin lesions. In comparison, the use of stem cell transplantations to treat infertility has received less attention. One of the causes of miscarri...

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 ...

abstract background b cells play an important role in the immune system due to production of the immunoglobulin and secreting several cytokines. it has been shown that b cells produced successfully in the presence of stem cell factor (scf) and flt3 ligand (flt3l). il2, il7, and il15 cytokines as  -common family have an essential cytokines may support either synergistically or in an additi...

The article deals with the physiology of endometrial regeneration after its desquamation phase during menstrual cycle in women, as well an overview studies mesenchymal/stem cells main source tissue regeneration. processes that take place first their physiological essence are repair and regeneration, contrast to proliferation, which is based on regenerative neoplasm tissues, can be observed vari...

Background: In recent decade, human umbilical cord blood derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUCB-MSCs) provide enormous potential for appropriate cell therapy, but they have limited growth potential and cease to proliferate due to cellular senescence, so providing a strategy for increasing the stem cell survival is necessary.  Methods: In this investigation, MSCs characterized by flow cytome...
