Apical plasma membrane constituents of mammalian neural stem/progenitor cells have
recently been implicated in maintaining their stem/progenitor cell state. Here, we report that …

In a woman with severe Asherman's syndrome, curettage followed by placement of
intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD)(IUCD with cyclical hormonal therapy) was tried for …

The mechanism and magnitude by which the mammalian kidney generates and maintains
its proximal tubules, distal tubules, and collecting ducts remain controversial. Here, we use …

Several studies suggested the presence of stem cells in the adult normal human liver;
however, a population with stem cell properties has not yet been isolated. The purpose of …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) were recently shown to migrate to injured tissues when
transplanted systemically. The mechanisms underlying the migration and homing of these …

The tubules of the kidney display a remarkable capacity for self-renewal on damage.
Whether this regeneration is mediated by dedifferentiating surviving cells or, as recently …

Increasing evidence supports the cancer stem cell hypothesis, which postulates that cancer
stem cells are responsible for tumor initiation, metastasis, and resistance to treatments …

Cell therapies aim to repair the mechanisms underlying disease initiation and progression,
achieved through trophic effect or by cell replacement. Multiple cell types can be utilized in …

The purpose of the present study was to search for the presence of a tumor‐initiating stem
cell population in renal carcinomas. Based on the recent identification of mesenchymal stem …

The potential role of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs, also called mesenchymal stromal
cells) in endogenous repair and cell-based therapies for acute kidney injury (AKI) is under …
