This work aimed to investigate the effect of Sophora flavescens polysaccharide on proliferation and osteogenic differentiation dental pulp stem cells. The cells were isolated from rat crown tissue surface biomarkers identified by flow cytometry. was assessed alizarin red staining alkaline phosphatase staining. treated with different doses for time points cell viability counting kit 8. Cell migr...

objective: because of the therapeutic application of stem cells (scs), isolation and characterization of different types of scs, especially mesenchymal stem cells (mscs), have gained considerable attention in recent studies. adipose tissue is an abundant and accessible source of mscs which can be used for tissue engineering and in particular for treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. this stud...

Overweight characterized by inappropriate expansion of adipose cells (hypertrophic obesity) is associated with the metabolic syndrome and is caused by an inability to recruit and differentiate new precursor cells. We examined the role of bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) and WNT activation in the regulation of human adipose cell differentiation. Cluster of differentiation (CD)14(+)/45(+) and ...

Emerging evidence from neuroimaging and neuropsychology suggests that human speech comprehension engages two types of neurocognitive processes: a distributed bilateral system underpinning general perceptual and cognitive processing, viewed as neurobiologically primary, and a more specialized left hemisphere system supporting key grammatical language functions, likely to be specific to humans. T...

objective: the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (ppars) are a group of nuclear receptor proteins whose functions as transcription factors regulate gene expressions. ppars play essential roles in the regulation of cellular differentiation, development, and metabolism (carbohydrate, lipid, protein), and tumorigenesis of higher organisms. this study attempts to determine the effect of b...
