The therapeutic potential of human umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells in Alzheimer’s disease

The neuropathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD) include the presence of extracellular amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) in the form of amyloid plaques in the brain parenchyma and neuronal loss. The mechanism…

Intra-Articular Injection of Mesenchymal Stem Cells for the Treatment of Osteoarthritis of the Knee: A Proof-of-Concept Clinical Trial

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are known to have a potential for articular cartilage regeneration. However, most studies focused on focal cartilage defect through surgical implantation. For the treatment of generalized…

A5.17 Comparison of adipose mesenchymal stem cells derived from rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis patients. The influence of adipocytokines

Background and Objectives Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) have immunomodulatory properties and are intensively studied as a potential therapeutical method to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA). ASCs immunosuppressive function may be affected…
