The human fungal pathogen Candida albicans shows a significant lag in growth when diluted into fresh minimal medium. This lag is abolished by the addition of conditioned medium from a high-density culture. The active component of conditioned medium is tyrosol, which is released into the medium continuously during growth. Under conditions permissive for germ-tube formation, tyrosol stimulates th...

background differences in causes, severities, areas of stenosis, and the association with swallowing and phonation of larynx and trachea can result into laryngotracheal stenosis (lts).this study evaluated the healing effect of bone marrow stem cells (bmscs) in experimentally induced lts dog model. methods seven dogs were enrolled. bmscs were isolated from proximal humerus and shoulder of a dog ...

Circulating blast cells from the peripheral blood of acute myeloblastic leukemia patients include a subpopulation capable of colony formation in the presence of phytohemagglutinin-stimulated leukocyte-conditioned medium (PHA-LCM). We describe the complete replacement in the blast assay of PHA-LCM by conditioned medium from a human bladder carcinoma cell line, HTB9. Both conditioned media contai...

The response of human myeloid leukemia cells to various sources of colony-stimulating activity (CSA) and media conditioned by phytohemagglutinin-stimulated mononuclear cells (PHA-LCM) was investigated in liquid and colony culture. PHA-LCM, placenta-conditioned medium, GCT cell line-conditioned medium, leukocyte-conditioned medium, and partially purified CSA for human and murine cells were teste...

Skin aging is caused by the exposure cumulative of ultraviolet radiation, it leads reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in skin. The conditioned medium human Adipose Tissue-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (hATMSCs) can scavenge free radicals and increase survival rate skin cells under oxidative stress. This study examined protective effects Conditioned Medium (CM) hATMSCs H2O2-induced fibrob...

background: mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) are important candidates for msc-based cellular therapy. current paradigm states that mscs support local progenitor cells in damaged tissue through paracrine signaling. therefore, study of paracrine effects and secretome of mscs could lead to the appreciation of mechanisms and molecules associated with the therapeutic effects of these cells. this study ...

PURPOSE The functional characteristics of tight junctions in the outer blood-retinal barrier change during embryonic development and in the presence of disease. A culture model of developing retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) was used to examine the regulation of the tight junctions. METHODS RPE from chick embryos was cultured on filters that separated the apical and basal medium compartments. ...
