Background A promising approach to the treatment of chronic ischaemic heart disease and
congestive heart failure is the use of stem cells. The last decade has seen a plethora of …

In the last decade, the biomedical applications of nanoparticles (NPs)(eg cell tracking,
biosensing, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), targeted drug delivery, and tissue …

The lymphatic vasculature is a blind-ended network crucial for tissue-fluid homeostasis,
immune surveillance and lipid absorption from the gut. Recent evidence has proposed an …

Myocardial infarction (MI) arising from obstruction of the coronary circulation engenders
massive cardiomyocyte loss and replacement by non-contractile scar tissue, leading to …

The mechanism (s) underlying cardiac reparative effects of bone marrow-derived
mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) remain highly controversial. Here we tested the hypothesis …

Biomaterials is a multidisciplinary subject involving materials science, engineering, cell

Background. Mesenchymal stem cells hold promise for cardiovascular regenerative therapy.
Derivation of these cells from the adipose tissue might be easier compared with bone …

In the beginning stage of heart disease, the blockage of blood flow frequently occurs due to
the persistent damage and even death of myocardium. Cicatricial tissue developed after the …

Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells are being used increasingly to complement their
embryonic counterparts to understand and develop the therapeutic potential of pluripotent …

Chronic pain conditions are difficult to treat and are major health problems. Bone marrow
stromal cells (BMSCs) have generated considerable interest as a candidate for cell-based …
