Current Development of Alternative Treatments for Endothelial Decompensation: Cell-Based Therapy
(Elsevier, 2021-04-01)
[Abstract]
Current treatment for corneal endothelial dysfunction consists in the replacement of corneal endothelium by keratoplasty. Owing to the scarcity of donor corneas and the increasing number of transplants, alternative ...
Generation of mesenchymal cell lines derived from aged donors
(MDPI, 2021-10-01)
[Abstract] Background: Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have the capacity for self-renewal and multi-differentiation, and for this reason they are considered a potential cellular source in regenerative medicine of cartilage ...
Chondrogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells via SOX9 delivery in cationic niosomes
(MDPI, 2022-10-28)
[Abstract] Gene transfer to mesenchymal stem cells constitutes a powerful approach to promote their differentiation into the appropriate cartilage phenotype. Although viral vectors represent gold standard vehicles, because ...
Tips and Tricks for Successfully Culturing and Adapting Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells [Protocol]
(Cell Press, 2021-12)
[Abstract] Reprogramming somatic cells toward pluripotency became possible over a decade ago. Since then, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have served as a versatile and powerful tool not only for basic research but ...
Analysis of Cryopreservation Protocols and Their Harmful Effects on the Endothelial Integrity of Human Corneas
(MDPI, 2021-11-22)
[Abstract] Corneal cryopreservation can partially solve the worldwide concern regarding donor cornea shortage for keratoplasties. In this study, human corneas were cryopreserved using two standard cryopreservation protocols ...
Ovine mesenchymal stromal cells: morphologic, phenotypic and functional characterization for osteochondral tissue engineering
(PLoS ONE, 2017-01-31)
[Abstract] Introduction. Knowledge of ovine mesenchymal stromal cells (oMSCs) is currently expanding. Tissue engineering combining scaffolding with oMSCs provides promising therapies for the treatment of osteochondral ...
Characterization of microRNA expression profiles in normal and osteoarthritic human chondrocytes
(BioMed Central, 2012-08-12)
[Abstract]
Background. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a multifactorial disease characterized by destruction of the articular cartilage due to environmental, mechanical and genetic components. The genetics of OA is complex and ...
Effects of severe hypoxia on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells differentiation potential
(Hindawi, 2013-06-30)
[Abstract] Background. The interests in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their application in cell therapy have resulted in a better understanding of the basic biology of these cells. Recently hypoxia has been indicated ...
Alternative protocols to induce chondrogenic differentiation: transforming growth factor-β superfamily
(Springer, 2014-09-10)
[Abstract] Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are an accepted candidate for cell-based therapy of multiple diseases. The interest in MSCs and their possible application in cell therapy have resulted in a better understanding ...
Human amniotic membrane as an alternative source of stem cells for regenerative medicine
(Elsevier, 2011-02-19)
[Abstract] The human amniotic membrane (HAM) is a highly abundant and readily available tissue. This amniotic tissue has considerable advantageous characteristics to be considered as an attractive material in the field of ...
