Background: Dental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSCs) are multipotent mesenchymal stem cells. DPSCs can renew themselves and differentiate into various cell types such as adipocytes, osteocytes, neurons, etc. DPSCs possess immunomodulatory properties and can inhibit peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) proliferation. Recent studies showed that conditioned-medium mesenchymal stem cells also had immunos...

Discovering a cell type with the highest efficiency and the least side-effects is one of the priorities of scientists active in this field. Of all the cells, mesenchymal stem cells have been and still are of interest to the researchers for use in pre-clinical and clinical studies due to being easily accessible, pluripotency, secretion of numerous growth factors, low risk of immunological reject...

the aim of this study was to investigate the interactions between rat intestine decellularized scaffold and human adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells. rat large intestine was dissected in fragments and decellularized by physicochemical methods. the scaffolds were loaded by human adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells expressing green fluorescent protein. microscopic sections were prepared fr...

background: it is still controversial that the stem cells isolated from human dental pulp meets the criteria for mesenchymal stem cells (mscs). the aim of the present study was to examine whether or not they are mscs, or are distinct stem cells population residing in tooth pulp.   methods: adherent fibroblastic cells in the culture of pulp tissue from human third molars were propagated through ...

stem cell therapy has been applied for the treatment of degenerative diseases encompassing corneal disorders.this consideration is regarding the unique characteristics of stem cells including self-renewal and pluripotency. some corneal diseases result from deficiencies in the limbal region. in these conditions, limbal stem cell therapy is considered in which limbal stem cells are cultured in vi...

Objective Articular cartilage as an avascular skeletal tissue possesses limited capacity to heal. On the other hand, it is believed that the regeneration capacity of each tissue is largely related to its stem cell contents. Little is known about the presence of mesenchymal stem cells in articular cartilage tissue. This subject is investigated in the present study. Materials and Methods Artic...

the identification of multipotential mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) derived from adult human tissues such as bone marrow and connective tissues has provided exciting prospects for cell-based tissue engineering and regeneration. this review article focuses on the biology of mscs, their differentiation potentials in vitro and in vivo, and their application in tissue engineering. our current unders...

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease, which is characterized by demyelination and neuroinflammation. Extracellular Matrix (ECM) have important role in the central nervous system (CNS). Alterations are happening to the ECM after the CNS disorder like MS, Alzheimer and other neural injury. Tenasin-C (TnC) is a glycoprotein that is highly expressed in inflammatory conditions of the CNS...

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory and demyelinating disease of the central nervous system that may lead to disability of the patient. Current MS treatment regimens are still insufficient and research is conducted for developing more effective therapies capable of targeting neurodegeneration, inflammation, and demyelination. Recent results of experimental and clinical studies in ...
