human mesenchymal stem cells (hmscs), which also called mesenchymal stromal cells, are multipotent stem cell. human mscs typically are positive for the surface markers cd44, cd73, cd90, cd105, cd106, and also negative for hematopoietic markers cd34 and cd45.these cells can be isolated from postnatal bone marrow, adipose tissue, placenta, and scalp tissue, as well as from various fetal tissues. ...

in this present study, we examined the differentiation potential of human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (hbmscs) into hepatocytes on a three-dimentional (3d) nanofibrous scaffold formed by poly (ε-caprolactone) (pcl), collagen and polyethersulfone (pes). the nanofiber was prepared by the electrospining technique. hbmscs were isolated using combining gradient density centrifugation ...

mesenchymal stem cells can be obtained from deferent tissues like adipose tissue, umbilical cord, placenta, skin, bone marrow, etc. these cells have regulatory effects on all types of immune cells such as dendritic cell, natural killers and lymphocytes. mesenchymal stem cells induce inhibitory phenotypes of antigen presenting cells (apcs) following their activity. they also change t cells pheno...

purpose : our aim was to isolate mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) from mouse umbilical cord and culture them with vitreous body to investigate their capacity to differentiate into lens fiber cells, crystallins are expressed. methods : wharton's jelly is the appropriate source of mscs. after isolation, the cells were cultured and alkaline phosphatase detection kit was used for staining undiffe...

conclusions taken together, the combination of chemical and growth factors in the two-step induction protocol may improve the efficiency of msc differentiation into neural progenitor cells, and may be a new method for the easy and fast application of mscs in regenerative medicine in the future. results the results of real-time pcr showed that the expression of the gfap, mbp, and map-2 genes aft...

background: mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) are undifferentiated cells that can differentiate and divide to other cell types. transplantation of these cells to the different organs is used for curing various diseases. objective: the aim of this research was whether mscs transplantation could treat the sterile testes. materials and methods: in this experimental study, donor mscs were isolated from...

objective(s): electrospun nanofibrous mats of poly(lactic acid) (pla) and nanohydroxyapatite (nano-ha) were prepared and proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells on the prepared nanofibers were investigated in this study. materials and methods: pla/nano-ha nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning. the effects of process parameters, such as nano-ha concentration, distance, ...

background: the aim of this study was optimization of the polyfect gene delivery method of pcdna3.1 expression vector transfected with the mouse pdx-1 gene in three different kinds of mesenchymal stem cells and hepa cells as well as comparison of transfection efficiency leading to expression of the mentioned gene in the cell types used. materials and methods: rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal...

background: mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) are multipotent cells that can be collected from different sources. under specific conditions, mscs can be differentiated to tissue specific cells in vitro. human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hucmscs) can easily be harvested and cultured in in vitro conditions. production of germ cells from mesenchymal stem cells is a very interesting and prom...
