objective(s) the use of co-culture cells as well as extra cellular matrix are among those strategies that have been employed to direct mesenchymal stem cell (msc) bone differentiation in culture. in this regard, there is no study considering the effects of matrigel on mesenchymal stem cell (msc) in vitro bone differentiation. this was the subject of the present study. materials and methods huma...

evidence acquisition the fifty two significant articles discussing the stem cell in chronic myeloid leukemia from 1996 to 2012 were selected according to the authors’ experience. results studies have shown that primitive cml cells are less responsive to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (tkis) and are a reservoir for the relapse of multi drug resistant (mdr). conclusions following that, minimal residu...

a neurological disorder is any disorder of the nervous system is usually due to cell loss. the ultimate goal of cns therapy is to replace lost cells and tissue. there is no neuroprotective, pharmacological and effective treatment available that restores the injury-induced loss of function. recent studies suggest that identification of adult neural stem/progenitor cells indwelling in the neuroge...

Several signaling pathways and transcription factors control the cell fate in its in vitro development and differentiation. The orchestrated use of these factors results in cell specification. In coculture methods, many of these factors secrete from host cells but control the process. Today, transcription factors required for retinal progenitor cells are well known, but the generation of these ...

Stem/progenitor cell based therapeutic approach in our daily routine clinical practice, has been elusive dream in medical sciences and improvement of stem cell homing as one of major challenges in cell therapy programs, has been considered a promising milestone. It has been proved that stem/progenitor cells exhibit a homing response to injured tissues/organs, mediated by interactions of chemoki...

background: despite recent advances in mobilization techniques, a considerable portion of patients fail to mobilize sufficient number of cells for successful autologous stem cell transplantation. there are several studies available that have demonstrated enhanced mobilization of endothelial progenitor cells with atorvastatin. therefore, this prospective trial was conducted to evaluate the mobil...
