mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) have the ability to differentiate into neuronal like cells under appropriate culture condition. in this study, we investigated whether mscs derived from human peripheral blood (pb-mscs) can differentiate into neuronal like cells by synergic effect of the growth factors egf, bfgf and noggin. for this purpose, the expression of five neuronal markers (nestin, β iii tu...

introduction cholinergic system is one of the important systems of mammalian cns. cholinergic neurons distributed in brain and spinal cord and contributed to principal functions like: consciousness, learning and memory, and motor control. in this study we investigated the differentiation potentiality of mouse embryonic stem cells toward cholinergic neurons. the aim of this study was to evaluate...

in this presentation, we review briefly on biogenesis of peroxisomes with regard to the recent findings on biogenesis. peroxisomes perform a range of various functions as oxidation of very long chain fatty acids, generation and removal of hydrogen peroxide, while peroxisomes have also been implicated in β-oxidation of aromatic and cyclic compounds, synthesis of plasmalogens, isoprenoids, lysine...

background: recently, embryonic stem (es) cells have become very important resources in basic medical researches. these cells can differetiate into derivatives of all primary germ layers. objectives: in order to isolate embryonic stem cells in vitro, the blastocyst were cultured and the morphological aspects, population doubling time, alkalin phosphatse and differentiation properties of the cel...

Predicting Adolescents’ Self-Differentiation and Attachment Styles Based on Family Flexibility, Parents’ Level of Self-Differentiation and Parental Attachment Styles F. Asl Dehghan, M.A. H. Rezaian, Ph.D. S. Hosseinian, Ph.D. The main purpose of the present study was to determine the role of family flexibility, parents’ level of self-differentiation, and pa...

Background & aim: Individuals with differentiation of self will have healthy relationships with others, manage their emotions, take care of their own identity, and they suppose, feel, and act for themselves. Therefore, the present study aimed to examine the efficacy of self-differentiation training based on the Bowen’s theory on women’s self-differentiation and marital...

the way to overcome current limitations in the generation of glucose-responsive insulin-producing cells is selective enrichment of the number of definitive endoderm (de) progenitor cells. sox17 is the marker of mesendoderm and definitive endoderm. the aim of the present research was to study the potential of sox17 knock-in cgr8 mouse embryonic stem (es) cells to differentiate into insulin produ...

most studies regarding the marrow-derived equine mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) have mainly focusedon the cell transplantation without considering the capacity of differentiation and in vitro requirements of thecells. these concerns were investigated in the present study. equine mscs were isolated from the sternalmarrow aspirates and expanded through two successive subcultures. passage-2 equine ...
