tem cell biology has made cell-based therapies promising. While the use of human embryonic stem cells is ethically controversial, adult stem cells attracts more and more attention from clinicians and scientists. Adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are derived from various tissues, including bone marrow, subcutaneous adipose tissue, cruciate ligament, muscle, and synovium,1 which are potential do...

Background Mesenchyme stem cells (MSCs) are one of the widely used sources in tissue engineering and efficacy of cultural environment. In this survey, rat stem cells are used as coculture. Owing to main obstacle of embryo culture in the lab medium, the survival of embryo in lab is low in comparison with that of normal conditions. The purpose of this research is the survey of fertilization and c...

background: adipose-derived stem cells (adsc) could be an appealing alternative to bone marrow stem cells (bmsc) for engineering cell-based osteoinductive grafts. meanwhile, prior studies have demonstrated that melatonin can stimulate osteogenic differentiation. therefore, we assayed and compared the melatonin effect on osteogenic differentiation of bmsc with that of adsc. methods: mesenchymal ...

objective(s):mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) derived from wharton’s jelly (wj-mscs) are now much more appealing for cell-based infertility therapy. hence, wj-mscs differentiation toward germ layer cells for cell therapy purposes is currently under intensive study. materials and methods: mscs were isolated from human wharton’s jelly and treated with bmp4, retinoic acid (ra) or co-cultured on human...

Adipose-tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells can be directed towards a myogenic phenotype in vitro by the addition of specific inductive media. However, the ability of these or other adipose-tissue-associated cells to respond to ;natural' myogenic cues such as a myogenic environment has never been investigated in detail. Here, we provide evidence that a restricted subpopulation of freshly harv...

objective(s) bone marrow is the traditional source of human multipotent mesenchymal stem cells (mscs), but adipose tissue appears to be an alternative and more readily available source. in this study, rat adipose-derived stem cells (adscs) were induced to differentiate into schwann-like cells and compared with rat bone marrow stem cells (bmscs) for their schwann-like cells differentiation poten...

Objective(s): Three-dimensional biomimetic scaffolds have widespread applications in biomedical tissue engineering due to similarity of their nanofibrous architecture to native extracellular matrix. Co-culture system has stimulatory effect on chondrogenesis of adult mesenchymal stem cells. This work presents a co-culture strategy using human articular chondrons and adipose-derived stem cells (A...

Although mesenchymal stem cells are used in numerous clinical trials, the safety of their application is still a matter of concern. We have analysed the clinical results of the autologous adipose-derived stem cell treatment (stromal vascular fraction (SVF) containing adipose-derived stem cells, endothelial progenitors, and blood mononuclear cells) for orthopedic (cartilage, bone, tendon, or com...

introduction based on previous researches, dental pulp stem cells (dpscs) are easily accessible with limited morbidity after collection. their embryonic origin, from neural crests, explains their multipotency. dpscs are primarily derived from the pulp tissues of the teeth.objective: this study was undertaken to isolate, culture, and characterize two different third molar and first premolar huma...

Introduction: Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hADSCs) are easily accessible in the body, and under appropriate conditions, they can be directed toward various phenotypes. Therefore, hADSCs have been considered as a potential cell source for tissue engineering applications. hADSCs are able to differentiate into endothelial cells which covers the interior surface of vessels, in vi...
