Advancing dentin-pulp regeneration: clinical perspectives and insights from stem/progenitor cell transplantation (part II).

This systematic review evaluates clinical studies investigating regenerative endodontic procedures for mature/immature teeth utilizing stem cell transplantation. An electronic search of Scopus, PubMed, ISI Web Science, and Google Scholar was conducted ...

Advancements and challenges in stem/progenitor cell transplantation for dentin-pulp regeneration: a systematic review of animal studies (part I).

Dentin-pulp regeneration through stem/progenitor cell transplantation represents a promising frontier in regenerative endodontics. This systematic review meticulously evaluates animal studies to investigate the efficacy of stem cell therapy in repairing/regenerating ...

Acoustic vibration promotes in vitro expansion of human embryonic stem cells.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effect of acoustic vibration on the pluripotency of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and evaluate cell proliferation and self-renewal ability post-treatment. Methods: The human ES cell line H1 was used ...

Human corneal endothelial cell transplantation with nanocomposite gel sheet preserves corneal stability in post-corneal transplant bullous keratopathy: a 16-year follow-up.

Post-corneal transplantation endothelial decompensation and subsequent bullous keratopathy often result in unfavorable clinical outcomes regardless of the treatment strategy employed. In this report, we present the outcomes of a patient managed with in ...

Evaluation of osteoconductive effect of polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffold treated with fibronectin on adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSCs).

Background: Replacing damaged organs or tissues and repairing damage by tissue engineering are attracting great interest today. A potentially effective method for bone remodeling involves combining nanofiber scaffolds with extracellular matrix (ECM), ...

Fetal progenitor cells for treatment of chronic limb ischemia.

Objectives: This study investigated the therapeutic potential of fetal progenitor cells (FPCs) in the treatment of chronic non-healing wounds and ulcers associated with chronic limb ischemia (CLI). The research aimed to elucidate the mechanism of action ...

Mesenchymal stromal cell-based therapy in lung diseases; from research to clinic.

Recent studies demonstrated that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are important for the cell-based therapy of diseased or injured lung due to their immunomodulatory and regenerative properties as well as limited side effects in experimental animal models. ...

The future of diabetic wound healing: unveiling the potential of mesenchymal stem cell and exosomes therapy.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a significant public health problem and is one of the most challenging medical conditions worldwide. It is the severe complications that make this disease more intricate. A diabetic wound is one of these complications. Patients ...

The impact of acemannan, an extracted product from Aloe vera, on proliferation of dental pulp stem cells and healing of mandibular defects in rabbits.

Objectives: Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) were shown to play an important role in regenerative medicine including reconstruction of various bone lesions. This study determined the impact of acemannan, an extracted product from Aloe vera, on in vitro ...

lncRNAs regulate cell stemness in physiology and pathology during differentiation and development.

Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) are an important class of ubiquitous genes involved in diverse biological functions. lncRNAs, defined as noncoding RNAs with a length exceeding 200 nucleotides, are abundantly expressed throughout cells; however, their precise ...

The emerging roles and therapeutic implications of immunosenescence-mediated inflammaging in age-related hearing loss.

Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) represents one of the most prevalent chronic sensory deficits experienced by the elderly, significantly diminishing their quality of life and correlating with various medical and psychological morbidities. This condition ...

Safety and feasibility of autologous adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction in the treatment of keloids: a phase one randomized controlled pilot trial.

Introduction: Autologous adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF) has been described to have therapeutic benefits in the treatment of keloids. However, most of the evidence on its efficacy is based on observational studies the majority of which ...

Silver nanoparticles promote osteogenic differentiation of mouse embryonic fibroblasts in vitro.

Objective: This study investigated if silver nanoparticles (AgNps) could promote the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of mouse embryonic fibroblasts. Methods: Mouse embryonic fibroblasts were divided into two groups: Group 1 cells were cultured ...

Upregulation of C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) in the breast cancer stem like cells.

Background and objectives: Breast cancer stem like cells (CSCs) as a subset of cancer cells exhibit similar properties with normal stem cells. These cells are responsible for cancer metastasis and recurrence. Pivotal roles of CXCR4 in metastasis, chemoresistance ...

Recent advances in CRISPR-Cas system for the treatment of genetic hearing loss.

Genetic hearing loss has emerged as a significant public health concern that demands attention. Among the various treatment strategies, gene therapy based on gene editing technology is considered the most promising approach for addressing genetic hearing ...
