Pushpam Kumar Sinha, Independent Researcher, India
For this talk I review seven different types of cancers: leukemia, pancreatic cancer, colon cancer, liver cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer, and ovarian cancer, their experimental and clinical studies, to come up with a model of the genesis of cancer common to all types of c [....] » Read More
Title : Electroactive polymer-based smart scaffolds for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine
Federico Carpi, University of Florence, Italy
Cellular scaffolds are a critical component of any system for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. So far, poor attention has been focused on scaffolds that can mimic the extracellular matrix not only statically, but also dynamically, especially for tissues that have to [....] » Read More
Title : Liver cell therapies: From hepatocyte transplant to placental stem cell infusion
Roberto Gramignoli, Karolinska Institutet, Sweden
Thirty years ago, hepatocyte transplant was validated as effective and safe treatment for patients with acute and congenital liver disease. A severe shortage of useful liver tissues limits a wider application of this cellular therapy. Stem cell sources for hepatocyte [....] » Read More
Title : Placental therapy: Is really a natural weapon for wound healing therapy?
Madhu Gupta, Research University, India
Placental extract formulation Regenerin (Patent no- RU 2469704 CI, dt: 07.07.2011) has been reported to possess antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, cellular proliferation, and tissue regeneration properties. Considering the properties of placental extract, the present [....] » Read More
Title : The therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stem cells in the treatment of chemotherapy-related side effects
Gulay Sezer, Erciyes University, Turkey
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are among the most commonly used cell types in regenerative medicine, as they can be easily obtained from a variety of sources, and are suitable for the auto- and allogeneic transplantations due to their immunomodulatory and low immunogenicity proper [....] » Read More
Title : In vitro induction of mesenchymal stem cells into male germ-like cells by retinoic acid and titanium nanotubes-coated fibrin
Alireza shams, Alborz University of Medical Sciences, Iran (Islamic Republic of)
The global health community has dramatically improved maternal and child health, during the past few years; azoospermia is a key component of reproductive health. Our purpose is to survey and promote the potential of mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (mBMMSCs) differentiat [....] » Read More
Title : Altering stem cell states by controlling cell signaling information
Mohan Malleshaiah, Montreal Clinical Research Institute, Canada
Cell fate determination induced by cell signaling is central to stem cells and regenerative medicine. Pluripotent stem cells such as embryonic stem cells (ESC) are an attractive model for understanding the relationship between cell signaling and cell fates. Cultured mouse ESCs ar [....] » Read More
Title : Cancer stem cell radiosensitivity is predominantly controlled by intracellular ROS
Kaushala Prasad Mishra, NGB University, India
Cancer stem cells (CSC) in tumor volume exhibit resistance to radiation therapy. It is observed that both normal stem cells (NSC) and CSC maintain low levels of reactive oxygen species(ROS) and other free radical species in their cytosol. The primary radiation therapy eliminates [....] » Read More
Title : Roles and mechanism of human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells in the treatment of liver fibrosis
Ke-Yu Deng, Nanchang University, China
Stem cell therapy has been considered as practical and attractive approach for treatment of many diseases clinically in recent years. Human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSCs) are derived from the amnion tissues of the placenta which is normally discarded upon delivery [....] » Read More
Title : Transcriptional changes are induced by sub-lethal 5-fluorouracil treatment in planarian stem cells
Alessandra Salvetti, University of Pisa, Italy
The in vivo study of mammalian adult stem cells and their relationship with neighbor tissues, the so called niche, is problematic due to the rareness of these cells dispersed into host tissues. Planarians, endowed with an abundant and experimental accessible population of pluripo [....] » Read More
Title : Sources & applications of mesenchymal stem cells
Anjali Goyal, NHL Municipal Medical College, India
There has been an evolution of the Cellular therapy over the last decade both at the level of in vitro and in vivo preclinical research and in clinical trials. Both the Embryonic stem cells and non-embryonic stem cells have all been explored as potential therapeutic strateg [....] » Read More
Title : ADMSCs and platelets rich plasma in combination can regenerate the articular cartilage
Muhammed Rauf Ahmed, Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Medical University, Pakistan
To observe the combined effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and preconditioned adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) on the injured articular cartilage of the rat. Materials & methods:Animals in the study received an intra-articular injection of PRP and precondi [....] » Read More
Title : Single-Cell Transcriptomics Discovers Unique Markers for Human Corneal Epithelial Stem cells
De-Quan Li, Baylor College of Medicine, United States
Purpose: Human corneal epithelial stem cells, also referred to as limbal stem cells (LSCs), have been recognized to locate in corneal limbus for three decades. However, the molecular identity and definitive markers of LSCs are still elusive. This study aimed to uncover novel cell [....] » Read More
Title : Msc-exosomes in osteoarthritis treatment
Neus Figa Martin, Clínica Exolife, Spain
Osteoarthritis(OA) is the most common degenerative joint disease in adults, as well as a major cause of pain and disability. Despite its broad prevalence and severe impact both on individual health and economic level, the available treatments hardly manage to calm the pain and, m [....] » Read More
Title : Haspin regulates transcription of key spermiogenesis genes
Eleftheria Karanika, University of Ioannina, Greece
Haspin is a serine/threonine kinase that phosphorylates histone H3 at threonine 3 (H3T3ph). It is involved in chromosome alignment, centromeric cohesion and spindle stability, as well as in positioning of the Chromosomal Passenger Complex (CPC) at centromeres. H3T3ph is also part [....] » Read More
Title : Preparation and characterization of Ti/SnO2-Sb-NSG electrode for optimization the direct oxidation of methyl orange dyes using box-benhken design
Teguia Doumbi Romuald, University of ngaoundere, Cameroon
The degradation of methyl orange (MO) was studied by the direct electrooxidation using nitrogen and sulfur co-doped graphene (NSG) supported antimony doped tin oxide (Ti/SnO2-Sb). The Sol gel and microwave technics were used to prepare the electrode material (Ti/SnO2-Sb-NSG) [....] » Read More
