Purpose The purpose of this study was to demonstrate a method of isolating myogenic
progenitor cells from human placenta chorionic villi and to confirm the myogenic …

Objective Musculodegenerative diseases threaten the life of many patients in the world.
Since drug administration is not efficient in regeneration of damaged tissues, stem cell …

METHODS: Cells from human amniotic fluid and placenta were cultured in different
substratum and media to determine optimal growth conditions. Immunohistochemical …

Background Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) have been identified in a variety of fetal and
adult tissues, including bone marrow (BM), fetal blood and liver. We report on the isolation …

Introduction Human amniotic fluid stem (hAFS) cells have been shown to differentiate into
multiple lineages, including myoblasts. However, molecular mechanisms underlying the …

METHODS: Rapidly proliferating mesenchymal cells were mechanically isolated from
specimens of ovine amniotic fluid (n= 5). Processed cells were cultured in both control and …

The first human embryonic stem cell lines (hESCs) were derived using mouse embryonic
fibroblasts as feeder cells. In attempts to replace mouse embryonic fibroblasts with feeders …

Recent findings have shown that amniotic fluid (AF) could be a putative new source of
multipotent stem cells (SC). We investigated whether these human SC could efficiently …

We report the case of a patient who had undergone injections of myoblasts in an infarct area
16 years before being referred for heart transplantation. The pathological examination of the …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are considered to be a source of stem cells in tissue
regeneration and therapeutics, due to their ability to undergo proliferation and differentiation …
