abstractbackground: fetal bovine serum (fbs) is widely used in cell culture laboratories,risk of zoonotic infections and allergic side effects create obstacles for its use inclinical trials. therefore, an alternative supplement with proper inherent growthpromotingactivities is demanded.objective: to find fbs substitute, we tested human umbilical cord blood serum(hucs) for proliferation of human...

The bone marrow microenvironment comprises multiple cell niches derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. However, the molecular mechanism of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell differentiation is poorly understood. The transcription factor GATA2 is indispensable for hematopoietic stem cell function as well as other hematopoietic lineages, suggesting that it may maintain bone marrow mesenc...

Bone tissue engineering has been one of the most promising areas of research, providing a potential clinical application to cure bone defects. Recently, various stem cells, including embryonic stem cells (ESCs), bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs), umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UCB-MSCs), adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs), muscle-derived stem cell...

Background Bone marrow and adipose tissue are two main sources of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Some of studies suggest that there are some differences in gene expression profile of MSCs-derived from various tissues. To investigate gene expression profile by qRT-PCR, an appropriate reference gene with stable expression level should be chosen for normalizing data.  This study was designed to e...

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...

objective(s): bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (bm-mscs) potentials make them appropriate for cell therapy including ability of differentiation and release of anti-inflammatory cytokines and growth factors secreta. for treatment of azoospermia to induce proliferation and differentiation of germ cells, mscs transplantation has been introduced. the aim of the present experimental case-c...

arm grooves of star-fish have mesenchymal stem cells derived from adipose tissue cell. widespread studies have shown that stem cells derived from adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell from bone marrow have many similarities in terms of the ability to differentiate into a variety of tissues. most of the animals live in warm and shallow waters and the waters of this feature is that it is low in d...

Objective(s) The use of co-culture cells as well as extra cellular matrix are among those strategies that have been employed to direct mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) bone differentiation in culture. In this regard, there is no study considering the effects of Matrigel on mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) in vitro bone differentiation. This was the subject of the present study. Materials and Methods ...
