Beneficial effects of reconstituted high-density lipoprotein (rHDL) on circulating CD34+ cells in patients after an acute coronary syndrome [PDF]
Background: High-density lipoproteins (HDL) favorably affect endothelial progenitor cells (EPC). Circulating progenitor cell level and function are impaired in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

Neural Progenitor Cell Terminology [PDF]
Since descriptions of neural precursor cells (NPCs) were published in the late 19th century, neuroanatomists have used a variety of terms to describe these cells, each term reflecting contemporary understanding of cellular characteristics and function. As the field gained knowledge through a combination of technical advance and individual insight, the ...

Cell Therapy for Anal Sphincter Incontinence: Where Do We Stand?
Anal sphincter incontinence is a chronic disease, which dramatically impairs quality of life and induces high costs for the society. Surgery, considered as the best curative option, shows a disappointing success rate.

Neural Progenitor Cells and the Hypothalamus
Neural progenitor cells (NPCs) are multipotent neural stem cells (NSCs) capable of self-renewing and differentiating into neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. In the postnatal/adult brain, NPCs are primarily located in the subventricular zone (SVZ) of the lateral ventricles (LVs) and subgranular zone (SGZ) of the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG ...

The immense regenerative power of hematopoietic tissue stems from the activation of the immature stem cells and the progenitor cells. After partial damage, hematopoiesis is reconstituted through a period of intense regeneration when blood cell production

Hormesis and Endothelial Progenitor Cells [PDF]
Hormetic-biphasic dose response relationships are reported herein for human endothelial progenitor cells involving estradiol, nicotine, the anti-diabetic agent pioglitazone, resveratrol, and progesterone. In general, these studies demonstrate the capacity of these agents to enhance EPC proliferation and angiogenesis functional applications, having a ...

Formaldehyde Fixation of Extracellular Matrix Protein Layers for Enhanced Primary Cell Growth
Coating tissue culture vessels with the components of the extracellular matrix such as fibronectin and collagens provides a more natural environment for primary cells in vitro and stimulates their proliferation.

Liver progenitor cell and KDR [PDF]
Liver disease affects hundreds of millions of patients worldwide. Liver transplantation is currently the only curable treatment for liver failure caused by cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis B or C, bile duct disease, genetic disease, autoimmune liver disease, primary liver cancer, alcoholic liver disease, or fatty liver disease.

Isolation and Expansion of Mesenchymal Stem Cells from Murine Adipose Tissue
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are currently intensively studied due to significant promise which they represent for successful implementations of future cell therapy clinical protocols. This in turn emphasizes importance of careful preclinical studies of

Hepatic progenitor cells from adult human livers for cell transplantation. [PDF]
Objective: Liver regeneration is mainly based on cellular self-renewal including progenitor cells. Efforts have been made to harness this potential for cell transplantation, but shortage of hepatocytes and premature differentiated progenitor cells ...
