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 ...

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.

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 ...

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
