conclusions tissue engineering may open a new window in cleft palate reconstruction. stem cells and growth factors play key roles in this field. results we reported a summary of the key-points concerning cleft palate development, the genes involving this defect, current therapeutic strategies, recently novel aspects, and future advances in treatments for easy and fast understanding of the conce...

abstract background autologus platelet gel is easy to prepare and is relatively low cost. the aim of this study was to prepare and evaluate in vitro efficacy of autologus platelet gel. materials and methods in this experimental study, platelet concentrate and platelet poor plasma were prepared with aphaeresis method. thrombin was prepared by mixing the plasma with calcium. thrombin activity lev...

background: the present study investigated the functional maturity of oligodendrocyte derived from rat bone marrow stromal cells (bmsc). methods: the bmsc were isolated from female sprague-dawley rats and evaluated for different markers, such as fibronectin, cd106, cd90, oct-4 and cd45. transdifferentiation of olc from bmsc was obtained by exposing the bmsc to dmso and 1 µm all-trans-retinoic a...

background and aims. plasma rich in growth factors (prgf) is a concentrated suspension of growth factors, which is used to promote periodontal tissue regeneration. the aim of this randomized, controlled, clinical trial was to evaluate of the treatment of grade ii mandibular molar furcation involvement using autogenous bone graft with and without prgf. materials and methods. in this double-blind...

background: the anticancer agent imatinib (im) is a small molecular analog ofatp that inhibits tyrosine kinase activity of platelet derived growth factors (pdgfs)and stem cell factor (scf) receptor in cancer cells. however these factors have a keyrole in regulating growth and development of normal sertoli, leydig and germcells.objective: the aim of this study was to determine cell viability, pd...

objective: at present, growth factor-containing products such as enamel matrix derivatives, recombinant bone morphogenetic protein (rh-bmp), recombinant platelet derived growth factor and platelet rich plasma (prp) have gained increasing attention. prp is an autologous source of platelet growth factors used to enhance healing of soft and hard tissues. prp has gained popularity due to its autolo...
