background: bone marrow stromal stem cells (bmsc) are appropriate source of multipotent stem cells that are ideally suited for use in various cell-based therapies. it can be differentiated into neuronal-like cells under appropriate conditions. this study examined the effectiveness of co-stimulation of creatine and retinoic acid in increasing the differentiation of bmsc into gabaergic neuron-lik...

neuroinflammation has a significant role in induce of multiple sclerosis (ms) many approaches have been used to treat ms, but none of these methods have not been able to fully improve. one of the methods can suppress inflammation and regenerate the nervous system is the use of cell therapy. using cell therapy in pre-clinic phase can be realized, it's mechanism and potency to suppress neuro...

background: because of the ability of proliferation, regeneration, conversion to differentiated cells and tissue producing, stem cell therapy has important clinical implications for treatment of different diseases. in this chapter we discuss different kinds of stem cells that have been used in treatment of neurologic diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, heart diseases, bone disease, kidney dise...

epilepsy is one of the most common neuroinflammatory disorders that affect more than 50 million people worldwide. excessive electrical discharges in neurons following neural cell damage or loss leads to recurrent seizures, which are described as epilepsy. one of the most common and difficult to treat types of epilepsy is temporal lobe epilepsy (tle), which results from hippocampal sclerosis. cu...

background: cell-based treatments are currently being actively received great attention among scientists and clinicians for a variety of diseases as well as diabetes .the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of allotransplantation of fetal liver-derived cell suspension in patients with type 1 diabetes. methods: patients with type 1 diabetes (n=16) aged 6-30 years-old were included in...

multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells or mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) are mainly isolated from bone marrow or fat tissue. because of their potential of multilineage differentiation towards bone, cartilage and fat tissue, they were initially evaluated to develop innovative strategies for tissue engineering applications. more recently, they have gained interest based on their immunomodulatory pr...

in the last few years, a lot of preclinical studies showed the therapeutic potential of stem cells in spinal cord injury (sci). neural stem cells (nscs) can be differentiated into all cell types of spinal cord. nscs are cells that maintain the capacity to differentiate into brain-specific cell types, and may also replace or repair of injury in central nervous system. here in, we describe the ef...

multiple sclerosis (ms) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by central nervous system (cns) lesions that can lead to severe physical or cognitive disability as well as neurological defects. although the etiology and pathogenesis of ms remains unclear, the present documents illustrate that the cause of ms is multifactorial and include genetic predisposition together with environmenta...

neuroinflammation is a disorder that causes neurological disease. neuroinflammation has a significant role in induce of multiple sclerosis (ms) and one of the situations that must be treated stops the ongoing process of inflammation against the cns by self-reactive lymphocytes. according to the successful results that were obtained from the pre-clinical phase of cell therapy, many studies were ...
