Alternative protocols to induce chondrogenic differentiation: transforming growth factor-β superfamily
Cicione, Claudia; Muiños Gómez, Emma; Hermida Gómez, Tamara; Fuentes Boquete, Isaac Manuel; Díaz-Prado, Silvia; Blanco García, Francisco J (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 ... -
Characterization of microRNA expression profiles in normal and osteoarthritic human chondrocytes
Díaz-Prado, Silvia; Cicione, Claudia; Muiños-López, Emma; Hermida Gómez, Tamara; Oreiro, Natividad; Fernández-López, Carlos; Blanco García, Francisco J (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
Cicione, Claudia; Muiños-López, Emma; Hermida Gómez, Tamara; Fuentes Boquete, Isaac Manuel; Díaz-Prado, Silvia; Blanco García, Francisco J (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 ... -
Human amniotic membrane as an alternative source of stem cells for regenerative medicine
Díaz-Prado, Silvia; Muiños-López, Emma; Hermida Gómez, Tamara; Cicione, Claudia; Rendal Vázquez, María Esther; Fuentes Boquete, Isaac Manuel; De-Toro, Javier; Blanco García, Francisco J (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 ... -
Molecular profile and cellular characterization of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells: donor influence on chondrogenesis
Cicione, Claudia; Díaz-Prado, Silvia; Muiños-López, Emma; Hermida Gómez, Tamara; Blanco García, Francisco J (Elsevier, 2010)[Abstract] Background. The use of autologous or allogenic stem cells has recently been suggested as an alternative therapeutic approach for treatment of cartilage defects. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) are ...
