Administration of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to diseased hearts improves cardiac
function and reduces scar. These effects occur via stimulation of endogenous repair …

Despite substantial clinical advances over the past 65 years, cardiovascular disease
remains the leading cause of death in America. The past 15 years has witnessed major …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are broadly distributed cells that retain postnatal capacity
for self-renewal and multilineage differentiation. MSCs evade immune detection, secrete an …

Stem cells including embryonic stem cells (ESCs), induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)
and adult stem cells (ASCs) are able to repair/replace damaged or degenerative tissues and …

Premature ovarian failure (POF) is one of the common disorders found in women leading to
1% female infertility. Clinical features of POF are hypoestrogenism or estrogen deficiency …

Stem cells are known for their capacity to self‐renew and differentiate into at least one
specialized cell type. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were isolated initially from bone …

The recent isolation of fetal stem cells from several sources either at the early stages of
development or during the later trimesters of gestation, sharing similar growth kinetics and …

Human amniotic fluid stem cells have become an attractive stem cell source for potential
applications in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. The aim of this study was to …

Background: Amniotic fluid (AF) is a dynamic and complex mixture. Up to now, little is known
about the physiological functions of AF in the process of fetal development. We suppose that …

The amniotic membrane (AM) and amniotic fluid (AF) have a long history of use in surgical
and prenatal diagnostic applications, respectively. In addition, the discovery of cell …
