Lipomas are benign mesenchymal neoplasms of soft tissue that can be found in any part of the human body. Conversely, their presence in the oral mucosa is rather uncommon, with approximately 4% of the cases occurring in the oral cavity. In such cases, they are likely to have originated from mature adipose tissue and to be among several described histological variants of lipomas, which are identi...

objective(s): visfatin and vaspin are secreted by adipose tissue and play key roles in glucose homeostasis and subsequently are potential targets for diabetes treatment. resveratrol (rvs) corrects insulin secretion and improves insulin sensitivity. we investigated the rvs effects on serum antioxidants, insulin and glucose levels, also visfatin and vaspin genes expression in adipose tissue of st...

objective: this study investigated the effects of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) and conditioned medium injection on cell infiltration in the brains of an experimental c57bl/6 mice model of autoimmune encephalomyelitis (eae). methods: eae was induced with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (35-55 peptides) in 20 mice. mscs were obtained from the adipose tissue of c57bl/6 mice a...

objective: micrornas (mirnas) are noncoding rnas that function as key regulators of diverse biological activities such as cellular metabolism, cell proliferation and cell cycle regulation. recent studies have indicated the high potential of these small molecules to control stem cell differentiation into desired cells. the aim of present study is to investigate the possible effect of let-7f on e...

objective(s) some investigation has indicated that adipose-derived stem cells possess different surface epitopes and differentiation potential according to the localization of fat pad from which the cells were derived. in the present study proliferation capacity and aging of such cells were explored. materials and methods adherent cells were isolated from the collagenase digests of adipose tiss...
