Hemopoiesis in long-term bone marrow cultures (LTBMC) is dependent on adherent stromal cells that form an in vitro hemopoietic microenvironment. Myeloid bone marrow cultures (MBMC) are optimal for myelopoiesis, while lymphoid bone marrow cultures (LBMC) only support B lymphopoiesis. The experiments reported here have made a comparative analysis of the two cultures to determine whether the strom...

background :cell-based therapies can be used to treat neurological diseases and spinal cord injuries. the aim of this study was to assess the clinical outcome of bone marrow derived mononuclear cells (bm-mncs) transplantation in patients with spinal cord injuries.   method s: following a systematic review to detect clinical intervention studies, a meta-analysis was done for pooling data to esti...

this investigation aimed to examine the protective function of vitamin e on rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) treated with cadmium chloride. rat bone marrow mscs were extracted using flashing-out and cultured in dmem containing 10% fbs and 100 u/ml pen/strep. at the end of the third passage, cells were divided into 4 groups including control, cadmium chloride, cadmium chloride + vit...

the wharton’s jelly of the umbilical cord is believed to be a source of mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) which can be therapeutically applied in degenerative diseases. in this study, we investigated the immunomodulatory effect of umbilical cord derived- mesenchymal stem  cells (uc-mscs) and  bone  marrow-derived-mesenchymal stem  cells (bm-mscs) on differentiation, maturation, and endocytosis of m...

Background: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are beneficial for cell and gene therapy approaches. These highly potent in producing various cells, including adipocytes, osteoblasts, hematopoietic etc., particularly bone marrow-derived. High proliferation regenerative capacity important phenotypes of MSCs which contribute to the recovery process at damaged sites. Various techniques have been used, i...

The role of growth factors in promoting the survival, proliferation and development of multipotent haemopoietic stem cells and their more developmentally restricted progeny has been unequivocally established using short-term in vitro clonogenic culture systems (Fauser and Messner, 1979; Johnson, 1984; Toogood et al., 1980). In other culture systems, however, haemopoiesis occurs in the absence o...
