    Human adipose-derived stem cells ameliorate repetitive behavior, social deficit and anxiety in a VPA-induced autism mouse model

    요약 : Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impairments in social interaction and communication, and patients often display co-occurring repetitive behaviors. Although the global prevalence of ASD has increased over time, the etiology and treatments for ASD are poorly understood. Recently, some researchers have suggested that stem cells have therapeutic더 보기

    Safety of intravenous infusion of human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells in animals and humans

    Adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AdMSCs) represent an attractive and ethical cell source for stem cell therapy. With the recent demonstration of MSC homing properties, intravenous applications of MSCs to cell-damaged diseases have increased. In the present study, the toxicity and tumorigenicity of human AdMSCs (hAdMSCs) were investigated for clinical application. Culture-expanded hAdMSCs showed the typical appearance, immunophenotype, and differentiation capacity of MSCs, and were genetically stable at least 12 passages in culture.

    Systemic transplantation of human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells for the regeneration of irradiation-induced salivary gland damage.

    OBJECTIVES: Cell-based therapy has been reported to repair or restore damaged salivary gland (SG) tissue after irradiation. This study was aimed at determining whether systemic administration of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hAdMSCs) can ameliorate radiation-induced SG damage.
    METHODS: hAdMSCs (1 × 10(6)) were administered through a tail vein of C3H mice immediately after local irradiation, and then this infusion was repeated once a week for 3 consecutive weeks. At 12 weeks after irradiation, functional evaluations were conducted by measuring salivary flow rates (SFRs) and salivation lag times, and histopathologic and immunofluorescence histochemistry studies were performed to assay microstructural changes, apoptosis, and proliferation indices.

    Adipose-derived stem cell-containing hyaluronic acid/alginate hydrogel improves vocal fold wound healing

    OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: The purpose of this study was to investigate the regenerative efficacy of an injectable hyaluronic acid/mildly cross-linked alginate hydrogel (HA/ALG hydrogel) containing human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hAdMSCs) for vocal fold (VF) wound healing.
    STUDY DESIGN: Animal research.
    METHODS: HA/ALG hydrogel containing hAdMSCs was injected into the VFs of rabbits immediately after direct injury.
