Objective(s): Cell therapy has provided clinical applications to the treatment of motor neuron diseases. The current obstacle in stem cell therapy is to direct differentiation of stem cells into neurons in the neurodegenerative disorders. Biomaterial scaffolds can improve cell differentiation and are widely used in translational medicine and tissue engineering. The aim...

background and objectives: availability and uptake of mineral by explants are recognized as being important in tissue culture. the limiting factor for maximum mineral uptake and optimum growth is that minerals are not enough available to the explants. there are the inter-relationships between plant growth, mineral uptake, medium water potential, and mineral movement through the medium. plantlet...

BACKGROUND Wound healing is a complex and dynamic process following damage in tissue structures. Due to extensive skin damage caused by burn injuries, this study determined the role of human adult peripheral and umbilical cord blood platelet-rich plasma on proliferation and migration in human skin fibroblasts. METHODS Platelet-rich plasma (5, 10, 15, 20 and 50% PRP) from human umbilica...

Abstract Background Aberrant expression of Aldo-Keto reductase family 1 member B10 (AKR1B10) was associated with tumor size and metastasis breast cancer in our published preliminary studies. However, little is known about the detailed function underlying molecular mechanism AKR1B10 pathological process cancer. Methods The relationship between elevated overall survival disease-free patients anal...

Obesity is frequently associated with a chronic low-grade inflammation in the adipose tissue (AT) and impaired glucose homeostasis. Adipose macrophages (ATMs) have been shown to accumulate inflamed AT either by means of recruitment from blood or local proliferation. ATM proliferation activation can be stimulated TH2 cytokines, such as IL-4 IL-13, suggesting involvement CD4-positive T cells acti...
