Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is a type of sophisticated tailored immunotherapy used to treat a variety of tumors. Immunotherapy works by utilizing the body's own immune system to discover and destroy malignant cells. In CAR-T therapy, a patient’s own immune cells are genetically engineered to recognize and attack cancer. Treatments employing CAR T-cells are currently showing promising therapeutic r Read More

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) have self-renewal as well as pluripotency properties and are responsible for producing all types of blood cells. These cells are generated during embryonic development and transit through various anatomical niches (bone marrow microenvironment). Today, they are easily enriched from some sources, including peripheral blood, bone marrow, and umbilical cord blood (UCB). HSCs have been Read More

For many years, discovering the appropriate methods for the treatment of skin irritation has been challenging for specialists and researchers. Bio-printing can be extensively applied to address the demand for proper skin substitutes to improve skin damage. Nowadays, to make more effective biomimicry of natural skin, many research teams have developed cell-seeded bio-inks for bioprinting of skin substitutes. These loaded c Read More

Gastric cancer (GC) is the leading cause of death and cancer mortality in the world, with poor survival for cases with higher stages of GC. During the past decade, GC stem cells (GCSCs), a group of cancer cells, have been the focus of significant research on cancer. GCSCs have the capability of selfrenewal and are identified to participate in GC development, invasion, chemoresistance, and tumor relapse. Research projects ha Read More

Objective: The objective of this study is to analyze the efficacy and complications of regenerative medicine compared to autogenous bone graft for alveolar cleft reconstruction. Method: Electronic search was done through PubMed, Scopus, Embase and Cochrane databases for the studies published until May 2021. No limitations were considered for the type of the included studies. The risk of bias (ROB) of the studies was a Read More

Background: The migration and differentiation of stem cells take place during the reparative phase of the healing cascade. Chemokine ligands and receptors are the key players in the homing process during the early stage of capillary morphogenesis. Stem cells from exfoliated deciduous teeth are known to possess a huge potential benefit for tissue regeneration. However, the gene expression of SHED engaging in angiogenesis Read More

Background: While bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSCs) have been used for many years in bone tissue engineering applications, the procedure still has drawbacks such as painful collection methods and damage to the donor site. Dental pulp-derived stem cells (DPSCs) are readily accessible, occur in high amounts, and show a high proliferation and differentiation capability. Therefore, DPSCs ma Read More
