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...

Epilepsy is neurological disorders that afflict many people around the world with a higher prevalence rate in children and in low income countries. Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is result from hippocampal sclerosis is a neurological disorder with difficult treatment. Stem cells can transform into any type of cells such as glial cells, consequently stem cells can use for medical treatment. Stem c...

The possibility to reprogram somatic human cells will greatly and deeply change genetic approach and allow the development of new tools to study genetics diseases. Indeed, our ability to study human genetic diseases suffers from the lack of valid in vitro models. The latter should (i) be originating from human primary cells, (ii) be able to self-renew for a long time and (iii) be able to differ...

Five transcription factors can be used to mature stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes for better compatibility with adult cells.

background: keratinocyte stem cell is one of the adult stem cells that inhabits the skin and contributes to skin function and renewal. adult stem cells are best defined by their capacity to self-renew, and to maintain tissue function for a long period of time. these findings indicate the importance of these cells for clinical applications including regenerative medicine, tissue engineering and ...

Despite the significant advances in regenerative medicine, wound healing has remained a challenging clinical problem. Skin is the largest human organ with many vital functions; therefore, any damage to its normal structure should be treated as soon as possible. Easy access to skin stem cells has created a lot of excitement in therapeutic applications. “Cell therapy” is considered a novel method...

several sources were introduced for cell therapy after neurotrauma. there are some evidences that quiescent stem cells are located in the various regions of the adult mammalian brain including cortex, hippocampus, amygdala and striatum. but more study is needed to identify the characteristics of these cells. in the present study we investigated the possibility of isolating neural stem cells fro...

Objective(s) Clinical studies of treating traumatic brain injury (TBI) with autologous adult stem cells led us to examine the impression of a combination therapy. This was performed by intravenous injection of human umbilical cord matrix stem cell (hUCMSC-Wharton,s jelly stem cell) with bone marrow cell mobilized by granulocytecolony stimulating factor (G-CSF) in rats injured with cortical com...

Background  The mammary gland in humans is a dynamic organ that undergoes significant developmental changes during pregnancy, lactation, and involution. Stem cells derived from human breast milk possess the adult stem cell-like characteristics such as self-renewal, proliferative and differentiate potential. This source of stem cells avoids invasive procedures and the ethical controversy of emb...
