Tumor progression is a multistep phenomenon in which tumor-associated stromal cells
perform an intricate cross-talk with tumor cells, supplying appropriate signals that may …

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection can be controlled by anti-retroviral therapy.
Suppressing viral replication relies on life-long medication, but anti-retroviral therapy is not …

Objectives: This study sought to investigate the hypothesis that the favorable effects of
mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) on infarct repair are mediated by macrophages …

A large population of perivascular cells was found to be present in the area of the blood-
labyrinth barrier in the stria vascularis of normal adult cochlea. The cells were identified as …

Objective Developing a small animal model that accurately delineates the natural history of
hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and immunopathophysiology is necessary to clarify the …

Fibroblast-like cells with properties similar to mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are present
in human umbilical cord (hUC). In accordance with the international minimal criteria for …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have emerged as excellent candidates for clinical
application because of their capabilities of immunomodulatory and supporting …

Statins reduce atherosclerotic events and cardiovascular mortality. Their side effects include
memory loss, myopathy, cataract formation, and increased risk of diabetes. As …

Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) have attracted much attention for tissue repair
and wound healing because of their self-renewal capacity and multipotentiality. In order to …

BACKGROUND: It has been demonstrated that human umbilical cord stromal stem cells
(UCSSCs) are bio-equivalent to bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. However, little is …
