background: endometriosis is a complex disorder in reproductive age women which consist of stromal and epithelial cells implantation outside the uterine cavity. adiponectin is a member of cytokine family with various metabolic roles and proliferation inhibition of many cancer cells. the aim of the present research was to determine adiponectin effect on human endometriotic stromal cells (escs) p...

Apocrine neoplasms are rare in goats. This report describes an apocrine adenocarcinoma a 5-year-old female Boer goat with ulcerated, exophytic, multilobulated mass on the left dorsolateral cervical area. Histologically, dermis was effaced and expanded by poorly demarcated epithelial neoplasm desmoplasia. Neoplastic cells were arranged acini papillary projections into lumen had cuboidal or colum...

conclusions the results of this study showed that the meticulous microsurgical nerve repair, which was performed using the vein tubulization induced significantly better sciatic nerve regeneration. however, the addition of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell to vein conduit failed to promote any significant changes in regeneration outcome. results all animals tolerated the surgical procedures and...

calcifying fibrous tumor (cft) is a rare mesenchymal tumor, affecting children and young adults with a predilection for the soft tissue and the abdominal cavity. cft of the tubular gastrointestinal tract is very rare with less than 20 cases of gastric cfts reported in english literature. this benign hypocellular fibrosclerotic calcifying lesion can resemble other spindle cell tumors particularl...

background: stem cell factor (scf) is a transcriptional factor which plays crucial roles in normal proliferation, differentiation and survival in a range of stem cells. objective: the aim of the present study was to examine the proliferation effect of different concentrations of scf on expansion of human endometrial cd146+ cells. materials and methods: in this experimental study, total populati...

introduction: sox9 is a transcriptional activator which is necessary for chondrogenesis. sox6 are closely related to dna-binding proteins that critically enhance its function. therefore, to carry out the growth plate chondrocyte differentiation program, sox9 and sox6 collaborate genomewide. chondrocyte differentiation is also known to be promoted by glucocorticoids through unknown molecular mec...
