in this study, our aim was to produce a generation of gmp-grade adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells for clinical applications. according to our results, we fulfill to establish consistent and also reproducible current good manufacturing practice (cgmp) compliant adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells from five female donors. the isolated cells were cultured in dmem supplemented...

Neurodegenerative diseases are the hereditary and sporadic diseases which are characterized by progressive neuronal loss of the nervous system and are emerging as the leading cause of death, disabilities, and a socioeconomic burden due to an increase in life expectancy. There are many neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s, disease, amyotrophic lateral...

Introduction: Adult stem cells are the group of cells which conserve their nature in tissues and organs among other cells. In recent years, the researchers reported the existence of stem cells on the Bulge of hair follicles near to the smooth muscle. It is possible to differentiate these stem cells to neural cells by induction of Shh, FGF, and RA factors. Because of existence of these factors ...

Recent findings in stem cell biology have opened a new window in regenerative medicine. The endometrium possesses mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) called endometrial stem cells (EnSCs) having specific regenerative properties linked to adult stem cells. They contribute in tissue remodeling and engineering and were shown to have immuno-modulating effects. Many clinical trials were undertaken to asce...

Stem/progenitor cell based therapeutic approach in our daily routine clinical practice, has been elusive dream in medical sciences and improvement of stem cell homing as one of major challenges in cell therapy programs, has been considered a promising milestone. It has been proved that stem/progenitor cells exhibit a homing response to injured tissues/organs, mediated by interactions of chemoki...

background: mesenchymal stem cells (msc) have ability to regulate immune response via proinflamatory cytokines. in this study we aimed to investigate the effect of different mechanism for t cell activation and adjacency on immunoregulatory properties of msc. methods: bone marrow mscs were purchased and t cells were obtained from whole blood sample. t cells were activated by two different mechan...

severe hepatic failure accounts for many deaths and raises medical costs each year worldwide. currently, liver transplantation is the most common therapeutic option for patients with end-stage chronic liver disease. due to decrease in the number of organ donors, many in need of transplantation continue to remain on the waiting list. hepatic tissue engineering is a step toward alleviating the ne...

introduction: accumulating evidences indicated that during increasing of the animals' age, the number and the functional properties of hematopoietic stem cells (hscs) become altered because of a gradual decrease in replication potential.  the efficient factors in this process are dna damaging, reduced telomerase activity, shortening of telomeres and oxidative stresses. for overcoming these fact...
