background: bone marrow and umbilical cord stromal cells are multipotential stem cells that have the ability to produce growth factors that play an important role in survival and generation of axons. the goal of this study was to evaluate the effects of the two different mesenchymal stem cells on peripheral nerve regeneration. materials and methods: in this experimental study, a 10 mm segment o...

INTRODUCTION: The hierarchy of stromal progenitors from the bone marrow is poorly characterized; multipotent mesenchymal cells and colony-forming units fibroblasts are isolated in culture. Mesenchymal stem do not have a unique combination surface antigens, making it difficult to obtain pure population. expression nestin gene often used as marker these cells.
 AIM: To evaluate level charact...

objective(s) mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) are nonhematopoietic stromal cells that are capable of differentiating into and contribute to the regeneration of mesenchymal tissues. human mesenchymal stem cells (hmscs) are ideal targets in cell transplantation and tissue engineering. enhanced green fluorescent protein (egfp) has been an important reporter gene for gene therapy. the aim of this stud...

A non-invasive method to characterize human mesenchymal stromal cells during adipogenic differentiation was developed for the first time. Seven fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs), including methyl laurate, methyl myristate, methyl palmitate, methyl linoleate, methyl oleate, methyl elaidate and methyl stearate, were used for characterizing adipogenic differentiation using headspace solid-phase mic...

objective: tendon never returns to its complete biological and mechanical properties after repair. bone marrow and, recently, adipose tissue have been used as sources of mesenchymal stem cells which have been proven to enhance tendon healing. in the present study, we compared the effects of allotransplantation of bone marrow derived mesenchymal stromal cells (bmscs) and adipose derived stromal ...

Bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells were aspirated from immature male green fluorescent protein transgenic rats and cultured in a monolayer. Four weeks after the creation of the osteochondral defect, the rats were divided into three groups of 18: the control group, treated with an intra-articular injection of phosphate-buffered saline only; the drilling group, treated with an intra-articular ...

Discovering a cell type with the highest efficiency and the least side-effects is one of the priorities of scientists active in this field. Of all the cells, mesenchymal stem cells have been and still are of interest to the researchers for use in pre-clinical and clinical studies due to being easily accessible, pluripotency, secretion of numerous growth factors, low risk of immunological reject...
