Before using investigational drugs in people, researchers can use some types of stem cells to test the drugs for safety and quality. Should be normal somatic cells, but they are powerless on self-renewal potential. Although cancer cells are good at proliferation, however, they are abnormal in ...
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) originate in the human embryo and are considered to be multipotent — a type of stem cells that have not yet adopted a specific cellular phenotype. Such cells have the ability to differentiate into various types of cells found within the human body, including fibrob...
Stem cells are defined as undifferentiated cells, which can become one or more other kinds of cells. The human body contains hundreds of different types of cells that are important for our daily health. These cells are responsible for keeping our bodies running each day such as making our hear...
Recent data indicate that cancer stem cells (CSCs) are responsible for resistance of glioblastomas to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, thereby contributing to the poor survival of these patients. In order to identify novel prognostic markers in gliomas, several CSC markers have been investigated. This ...
Jun 05, 2024 - Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are adult stem cells with the ability to differentiate into various types of mesoderm-derived cells, showing promising results in preclinical studies for various medical conditions. Research continues to explo
Since the cancer stem cell concept has been widely accepted, several strategies have been proposed to attack cancer stem cells (CSC). Accordingly, stem cell markers are now preferred therapeutic targets. However, the problem of tumor specificity has not disappeared but shifted to another question: ...
All somatic cells are derived from the same cell type, called a pluripotent stem cell. The richest source of these cells is in the bone marrow of large bones such as the femur. Pluripotent stem cells are unique in that they can differentiate into any other cell type in the body; however...
regards to cancer. Adding progenitor cells could have a possible negative effect in the body through an acceleration of tumor growth. Therefore, cell therapy for cancer conditions, nowadays, requires greater knowledge and studies. At this time our protocol is limited to diseases other than cancer....
