Background: To investigate the levels and clinical significance of serum homocysteine (Hcy), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), visceral adipose tissue-derived serine protease inhibitor (vaspin), fat-specific adipokine (visfatin) in elderly patients with different types coronary heart disease (CHD).

background mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) are ideal candidates for treatment of diseases. amniotic membranes are an inexpensive source of mscs (am-msc) without any donor site morbidity in cell therapy. adipose tissue derived stem cells (ascs) are also suitable cells for cell therapy. there is discrepancy in cd271 expression among mscs from different sources. in this study, the characteristics of...

objective: many studies have focused on the epigenetic characteristics of donor cells to improve somatic cell nuclear transfer (scnt). we hypothesized that the epigenetic status and chromatin structure of undifferentiated bovine adipose tissue-derived stem cells (badscs) would not remain constant during different passages. the objective of this study was to determine the mrna expression pattern...
