background: stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (shed) have the capability to differentiate into neural cells. neurotrophins including nerve growth factor (ngf), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (bdnf), neurotrophin-3 (nt-3), and neurotrophin-4 (nt-4) have neurogenesis, neurotrophic, or neuroprotective effects and are expressed in developing teeth. the aim of this study was to mea...

objective(s) bone marrow is the traditional source of human multipotent mesenchymal stem cells (mscs), but adipose tissue appears to be an alternative and more readily available source. in this study, rat adipose-derived stem cells (adscs) were induced to differentiate into schwann-like cells and compared with rat bone marrow stem cells (bmscs) for their schwann-like cells differentiation poten...

background : many types of cancer cells require a supply of fatty acids (fa) for growth and survival, lpl, in the presence of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, accelerates the growth of these cells. recent evidence shows that lpl plays important roles in inflammation and obesity, implies that it is an appropriate general target for chemo preventive and chemotherapeutic agents. thus, we reported l...

background and aims. well-differentiated chondrosarcoma and enchondroma are similar in histopathologic aspects; therefore, special methods should be used to make a distinction between these benign and malignant tumors. the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a histopathologic method in the long-term follow-up for differentiating these lesions. materials and methods. the medical re...

objective(s):the mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) have been introduced as appropriate cells for tissue engineering and medical applications. some studies have shown that topography of materials especially physical surface characteristics and particles size could enhance adhesion and proliferation of osteoblasts. in the present research, we studied the distinction effect of 30 and 60 μg/ml of zinc ...
