conclusions tissue engineering may open a new window in cleft palate reconstruction. stem cells and growth factors play key roles in this field. results we reported a summary of the key-points concerning cleft palate development, the genes involving this defect, current therapeutic strategies, recently novel aspects, and future advances in treatments for easy and fast understanding of the conce...

understanding the molecular mechanisms in regeneration could help the stem cell therapists to improve the clinical practices and could be considered a major milestone in the translation of stem cell research to clinics. chemokines have been described as one of the most significant singling networks in stem cells homing and regeneration of damaged organs. cxcr4/cxcl12 has been known as a key pla...

mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) could differentiate into various types of tissues. these cells serve as a backup for the regeneration and repair of tissues or cells after injury. a skin wound is defined as an injury to the skin that needs to be restored. all types of cells in skin especially mesenchymal stem cells play important role in wound healing process. in particular, paracrine signaling of...

Background and Objectives: The mesenchymal stem cells derived from peripheral blood (PB) have been recognized as a promising source for allogeneic cell therapy. The aim of this study was to investigate the isolation, growth and differentiation ability of peripheral blood-isolated mesenchymal stem cells. Methods: The mononuclear cells were purified from fr...

Introduction Based on previous researches, dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) are easily accessible with limited morbidity after collection. Their embryonic origin, from neural crests, explains their multipotency. DPSCs are primarily derived from the pulp tissues of the teeth.Objective: This study was undertaken to isolate, culture, and characterize two different third molar and first premolar hum...

Small ruminant lentiviruses isolated from peripheral blood leukocytes and target organs can be propagated in vitro in fibroblasts derived from goat synovial membrane cells. These cells are obtained from tissues collected from embryos or fetuses and are necessary for the establishment of the fibroblast primary culture. A new alternative type of host cells, derived from goat umbilical cord, was i...

background: although cervical cancer mortality has reduced during last years, but it is still leading cause of mortality among women. many efforts have performed to develop new drugs and strategy to cure cervical cancer. mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) have many advantages that make them a suitable choice as a cell therapeutic agent in cancer treatment. there are different transfection methods fo...

background: mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) are ideal cells for cell and gene therapy. however, the low survival of mscs after transplantation has limited their applications. we aimed to evaluate the expression of cytoprotective genes including nqo1, txnrd1, ho-1, gclc following the over expression of nrf2 in umbilical cord-derived mscs (uc-mscs). methods: 3-5 passages of uc-mscs were cultured. r...

introduction: dental pulp-derived mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) have emerged as a promising tool for use in regenerative medicine. the in vitro growth kinetic and culture requirement of the cells derived from human dental pulp, which is the subject of this present study, is poorly described. materials and methods: stem cells were derived from human third molar and then characterized. the in vit...

heart failure is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. end stage disease often requires heart transplantation, which is hampered by donor organ shortage. tissue engineering represents a promising alternative approach for cardiac repair. for the generation of artificial heart muscle tissue several cell types, scaffold materials and bioreactor designs are under investigation. in this revi...
