Abstract

Transdermal differentiation of human adipose stem cells (ASCs) to other cell types is still a challenge in regenerative medicine. Studies using primary ASCs are also limited as they may undergo replicative senescence during repeated passages in vitro. However, ASCs immortalized (iASCs) with human telomerase enzyme expressing plasmid exhibits a uniform population suitable for differentiation in vitro. A right combination of biological and physical stimuli may induce transdermal differentiation of iASCs into neurons in vitro. iASCs were differentiated to free-floating neural stem cell aggregates (neurospheres) using a combination of growth inducers. Cells in these spheres were induced to differentiate into neurons using low-intensity lasers by a process called photobiomodulation (PBM). Laser at the near infrared (NIR) wavelength 825 nm and fluences 5, 10, and 15 J/cm2 was capable of increasing the differentiation of neurospheres to neurons. Precisely, there was a statistically significant increase in the early neuronal marker at 5 J/cm2 and a much appreciable increase at 15 J/cm2 in correlation with the biphasic dose response of PBM. However, these differentiated cells failed to express late neuronal markers in vitro. Comparison ...Continue Reading

Adult Stem Cells

Adult stem cells reside in unique niches that provide vital cues for their survival, self-renewal, and differentiation. They hold great promise for use in tissue repair and regeneration as a novel therapeutic strategies. Here is the latest research.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
