Exploring innovative solutions to improve the healthcare of the aging and diseased
population continues to be a global challenge. Among a number of strategies toward this …

Despite being a biological waste, human urine contains a small population of cells with self-
renewal capacity and differentiation potential into several cell types. Being derived from the …

Chronic non-healing wounds represent one of the most common complications of diabetes
and need advanced treatment strategies. Exosomes are key mediators of cell paracrine …

Slaughterhouses produce large quantities of biological waste, and most of these materials
are underutilized. In many published reports, the possibility of repurposing this form of waste …

Objective. This study is aimed at determining the effects of human urine‐derived stem cell‐
derived exosomes (USCs‐exos) on pressure‐induced nucleus pulposus cell (NPC) …

Osteoporosis is a debilitating bone disease affecting millions of people. Here, we used
human urine-derived stem cells (USCs), which were noninvasively harvested from unlimited …

Mesenchymal stem cells constitute a pool of cells present throughout the lifetime in
numerous niches, characteristic of unlimited replication potential and the ability to …

Background Urethral reconstruction is one of the great surgical challenges for urologists. A
cell-based tissue-engineered urethra may be an alternative for patients who have …

Efficient repair of injured epithelium by airway progenitor cells could prevent acute
inflammation from progressing into chronic phase in lung. Here, we used small molecules …

Background/Aims: Our previous studies have shown that human urine-derived stem cells
