background and aims: in this lab trial, the effect of scaffold based on human serum albumin (hsa) and hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (ha nps) on mouse spermatogonial cell line (scl) was investigated. materials and methods: to synthesize ha nps, calcium nitrate and diammonium phosphate at ph 13 were gently added and heated at 100 ºc for 24 hours. then serial concentrations of ha nps was separately...

skeletal muscle is a highly differentiated tissue with very specific functions which has low potential of regeneration. skeletal muscle injuries especially in athletes almost have lead to muscular dysfunctions and healing may be prolonged for several years. therefore, working on skeletal muscle differentiation remained an importance in biomedical researches. adipose derived stem cells (adscs) a...

Is it possible to enhance neural and cognitive function with cognitive training techniques? Can we delay age-related decline in cognitive function with interventions and stave off Alzheimer's disease? Does an aged brain really have the capacity to change in response to stimulation? In the present paper, we consider the neuroplasticity of the aging brain, that is, the brain's ability to increase...

Poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) has attracted a considerable amount of interest for biomedical application due to its biocompatibility, tailored biodegradation rate (depending on the molecular weight and copolymer ratio), approval for clinical use in humans by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the potential to change surface properties to create better interaction with biologica...

Scaffold fabrication and biocompatibility are crucial for successful bone tissue engineering. Nanometer hydroxyapatite (nHAP) combined with collagen (COL) is frequently utilized as a suitable osseous scaffold material. Furthermore, growth factors, including bone morphogenetic protein‑2 (BMP‑2), are used to enhance the scaffold properties. The present study used blending and freeze‑drying method...

Decellularized goat-lung scaffold was fabricated by removing cells from cadaver goat-lung tissue, and the scaffold was modified with chitosan/nanohydroxyapatite composite for the purpose of bone tissue engineering applications. MTT assay with osteoblasts, seeded over the chitosan/nanohydroxyapatite-modified decellularized scaffold, demonstrated significantly higher cell growth as compared to th...

Scaffold proteins play a crucial role in facilitating signal transduction in eukaryotes by bringing together multiple signaling components. In this study, we performed a systematic analysis of scaffold proteins in signal transduction by integrating protein-protein interaction and kinase-substrate relationship networks. We predicted 212 scaffold proteins that are involved in 605 distinct signali...
