germline and somatic stem cells are distinct types of stem cells that are dedicated to reproduction and somatic tissue regeneration, respectively. germline stem cells (gscs), which can self-renew and generate gametes, are unique stem cells in that they are solely dedicated to transmit genetic information from generation to generation. we developed a strategy for the establishment of germline st...

in cell therapy and regenerative medicine, a reliable source of stem cells together with cytokine growth factors and biomaterial scaffolds seem necessary. as adipose tissue is easy accessible and is abundant source of adult stem cells and can differentiate along multiple lineages, it can be considered as a good candidate in aesthetic medicine. the clinical application of adipose-derived stem ce...

background dox is a powerful chemotherapeutic agent used in the treatment of solid tumors and malignant hematological diseases. however, its cardiac toxicity limits the clinical usefulness of this drug. previous reports have shown corticosteroids induce a cytoprotective effect on cardiomyocytes. mouse transgenic embryonic stem cell-derived pure cardiomyocytes may be considered as a model for as...

Strategies of Schwann cell (SC) transplantation to regenerate the peripheral nerve injury involves many limitations. Stem cells can be used as alternative cell sources for differentiation into SCs. Given the high potential of neural crest-derived stem cells for the generation of multiple cell lineages, in this research, we considered whether olfactory ecto-mesenchymal stem cells (OE-MSCs) derive...

bone tissue engineering has been one of the most promising areas of research, providing a potential clinical application to cure bone defects. recently, various stem cells, including embryonic stem cells (escs), bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (bm-mscs), umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ucb-mscs), adipose tissue-derived stem cells (adscs), muscle-derived stem cell...

introduction : use of adipose-derived stem cells (adscs) is a suggested hypothesis to enhance the regeneration of bone defects. this technique is of particular interest since adscs are more easily accessible via a non-invasive harvesting technique compared to bone marrow stem cells (bmscs). this study sought to assess the efficacy of adsc implantation for regeneration of localized mandibular bo...

background: cell therapy has emerged as a promising curative intervention for several diseases including diabetes and wolfram syndrome (ws). the current study aimed to assess the effectiveness of clinical application of fetal-liver derived stem cells for treatment of patients with ws. methods: six patients with ws aged 23-34 (mean: 29.50, sd: 4.76) were recruited for the current phase 3 single-...
