Anti-inflammatory role and immunomodulation of mesenchymal stem cells in systemic joint diseases: potential for treatment

Introduction: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent stromal cells characterized by their ability to differentiate into adipocytes, chondrocytes, osteocytes and a number of other lineages. Investigation into their use has…

Effects of Intravenous Injection of Adipose-Derived Stem Cells in a Rat Model of Radiation Therapy-Induced Erectile Dysfunction

ntroduction.  Radiation therapy (RT) for prostate cancer is frequently associated with posttreatment erectile dysfunction (ED). Aim.  To investigate whether injection of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) can ameliorate RT-associated ED. Methods. …

Human adipose-derived stem cells for the treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage in rats via femoral intravenous injection

Human adipose-derived stem cells (huADSC) were generated from fat tissue of a 65-year-old male donor. Flow cytometry and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analyses indicated that the huADSC express…
