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...

abstract spinal cord injury (sci) is a devastating condition producing great personal and societal costs and for which there is no effective treatment. stem cell transplantation is a promising therapeutic strategy, though much preclinical and clinical research work remains. here, we briefly describe sci epidemiology, pathophysiology, and transplantation trial in human developments, including te...

Objective(s): In this paper, we discussed natural agents with protective effects against stem cell senescence. Different complications have been observed due to stem cell senescence and the most important of them is “Aging”. Senescent cells have not normal function and their secretary inflammatory factors induce chronic inflammation in body which causes different patho...

The skin is the largest tissue of man with several functions. Cosmetics/cosmeceuticals agents always are needed to be evaluated for their detrimental effects on the skin. Nowadays, the therapeutic potential of stem cells has and fibroblasts have increased the hope for a successful cell therapy in aesthetic medicine. Stem cells are unspecialized cells capable of renewing themselves through cell ...

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States and Europe. In recent years, the understanding that regenerative processes exist at the level of the myocardium, has placed stem cell research at center stage in cardiology. A stem cell is a cell that has the ability to divide (self replicate) for indefinite periods often throughout the life of the ...

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...

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...

parkinson’s disease (pd) is the second most common neurodegenerative brain disorder which is around 1.5 times more common in men than in women. currently, drug medications, surgery, and lifestyle changes are common approaches to pd, while all of them focused on reducing the symptoms. therefore, regenerative medicine based on stem cell (sc) therapies has raised a promising hope. various types of...
