Biomaterials play a critical role in engineering of tissue constructs, working as an artificial
extracellular matrix to support regeneration. Because the elastic stretchability is a major …

In 2001, researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, described the isolation of a
new population of adult stem cells from liposuctioned adipose tissue. These stem cells, now …

Adipose-derived stem cells were isolated from rats and differentiated to a Schwann cell-like
phenotype in vitro. The differentiated cells (dADSCs) underwent self-alignment in a tethered …

In future, adipose-derived stem cells (ASC) might be used to treat neurological disorders. In
this study, the neurotrophic and angiogenic properties of human ASC were evaluated, and …

Most natural tissues consist of multi-cellular systems made up of two or more cell types.
However, some of these tissues may not regenerate themselves following tissue injury or …

Stem cell-based therapy is considered a promising approach for the repair of nervous
tissues. Neural stem cells (NSCs) cannot proliferate or differentiate efficiently; hence …

Recent studies suggest that transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells might have
therapeutic effects in preventing pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative disorders …

Platelet‐rich plasma (PRP) contains various growth factors and appears to have the
potential to promote peripheral nerve regeneration, but evidence is lacking regarding its …

In the present study, we transplanted adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells into the
hippocampi of APP/PS1 transgenic Alzheimer's disease model mice. Immunofluorescence …

Background Myelinating Schwann cells (mSCs) form myelin in the peripheral nervous
system. Because of the works by us and others, matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) has …
