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...

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are reprogrammed from somatic cells through numerous transcription factors. Human induced pluripotent stem cell approaches are developing as a hopeful strategy to improve our knowledge of genetic association studies and the underlying molecular mechanisms.  Rapid progression in stem cell therapy and cell reprogramming provides compelling reasons for its fe...

Trying to use embryonic stem cells about 20 years ago, working with animals,  especially rats began. During these years , many experiments in mouse embryonic stem cells to transform into a variety of cells and transplanting them were led to remarkable success . In the next issue of human stem cells were considered successful until finally in 1998 the first report was published in the proliferat...

introduction: cardiac glycosides such as digoxin or digitoxin are the natural products that are traditionally used to increase cardiac contractile force in patients with heart failure and cardiac arrhythmias. it has been shown that digoxin can directly inhibit the cell proliferation and lead to cell apoptosis. present study was conducted to analyze the effect of digoxin in the cohorts of mesenc...

liver failure, in an acute or chronic form, is a growing health problem ranking as one of the leading causes of death worldwide. inborn errors of metabolism characterized by defects in hepatic enzymes or other proteins with metabolic functions, such as receptors or transporters accompanied with environmental factors involve etiology and presentation of liver failure. currently, the only establi...

Background & Aim: Low back pain is broadly documented as one of the most widespread pathologies in the advanced domain. Although the reasons of low back pain are uncountable, it has been meaningfully related to intervertebral disc degeneration. Present therapies for Intervertebral Disc (IVD) degeneration such as physical therapy and spinal fusion reduce symptoms' severity, but do not treat the ...

the stem cells can be considered as the miracle of creation, because, they are a major reservoir of the bioactive factors, molecules and cells. these reservoir cells play a major role in development and growth of the tissues and organs. regardless of the differences in differentiation capacity of embryonic and adult stem cells, both the cells are rich sources of stem cells with therapeutic appl...

conclusions stem cell therapies in wound care may lessen the morbidities associated with wound healing. an ideal method for the effective administration of stem cells for burn patients has not yet been elucidated. further comparison of the local and systemic effects in burn patients, associated with each route of stem cell delivery, needs to be performed. results application of cells to the bur...

lncrnas (long non-coding rnas) are responsible to control the degradation process, rna stability, orchestration, inhibition, transcription and histone modification etc. these rnas have been termed as the key agents of several mechanisms such as development, organogenesis and regeneration of damaged tissues etc. they interact with a number of partner molecules either protein, rnas or dnas and co...

recently, the use of stem cells has expanded into numerous areas including cell therapy. in this study, we investigated the differentiation capacity of human wharton’s jelly stem cells (hwjscs) into lens fiber cells. morphological changes and expressions of four crystallin genes (αa, αb, βb1 and βb3) were studied. the bovine vitreous body has been shown to induce expression of crystallin genes ...
