Mesenchymal stem or stromal cells (MSC) have proven to offer great promise for cell-based
therapies and tissue engineering applications, as these cells are capable of extensive self …

Wharton's jelly is not only one of the most promising tissue sources for mesenchymal stem
cells (MSCs) but also a source of natural growth factors. To prove that we can get both …

This paper demonstrates a method to engineer, in vitro, a nascent microvasculature within a
collagen–glycosaminoglycan scaffold with a view to overcoming the major issue of graft …

ABSTRACT A common characteristic of mammals is the development of extraembryonic
supporting tissues and organs that are required for embryonic implantation, survival and …

The human population is increasingly facing various diseases, including types of cancer,
that cannot be cured with conventional drugs. Advanced drug targeting of tumor cells is also …

Human amniotic membrane (hAM) is the innermost layer of fetal membranes, which
surrounds the developing fetus and forms the amniotic cavity. hAM and hAM-derived cells …

Cellular therapy has emerged as a new potential tool for curing a wide range of
degenerative diseases and tissue necrosis. Embryonic stem cells possess potential for …

Research on expanded human stem cells has become an increasing field of interest during
