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 ...
Evaluation of the adenocarcinoma-associated gene AGR2 and the intestinal stem cell marker LGR5 as biomarkers in colorectal cancer
(MDPI, 2012-04-05)
[Abstract] We aim to estimate the diagnostic performances of anterior gradient homolog-2 (AGR2) and Leucine-rich repeat-containing-G-protein-coupled receptor 5 (LGR5) in peripheral blood (PB) as mRNA biomarkers in colorectal ...
Evaluation of COX-2, EGFR, and p53 as biomarkers of non-dysplastic oral leukoplakias
(Elsevier, 2010-07-01)
[Abstract] Objective. Identify candidate SEBs (surrogate endpoint biomarkers) for premalignant trends in head and neck mucosa.
Study design. Study, by qPCR (quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction), the expression ...
Evaluation of Plakophilin-3 mRNA as a biomarker for detection of circulating tumor cells in gastrointestinal cancer patients
(American Association for Cancer Research, 2010-05-25)
[Abstract] Background: This study aims to assess Plakophilin-3 (PKP3) as a surrogate biomarker of circulating tumor cells in patients with gastrointestinal cancer.
Methods: The primary aim is to estimate the diagnostic ...
Bone marrow cells immunomagnetically selected for CD271+ antigen promote in vitro the repair of articular cartilage defects
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2011-03-22)
[Abstract] Objective: The purposes of this project were to quantify the cells expressing the mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) marker CD271 in synovial membranes from human osteoarthritic (OA) and healthy joints, and to determine ...
Intraarticular administration effect of hydrogen sulfide on an in vivo rat model of osteoarthritis
(MDPI, 2020-10-08)
[Abstract]
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common articular chronic disease. However, its current treatment is limited and mostly symptomatic. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an endogenous gas with recognized physiological ...
Is myofascial release therapy cost-effective when compared with manual therapy to treat workers’ mechanical neck pains?
(Elsevier, 2020-09-12)
[Abstract]
Objective: The aim of this study was to do a cost-benefit analysis of myofascial release therapy (MRT) compared to
manual therapy (MT) for treating occupational mechanical neck pain.
Methods: Variables regarding ...
