Collection and culture of human connective tissue cells from gingival explant technique for oral tissue bioengineering

Int. j. morphol; 37 (4), 2019
SUMMARY: Cell culture is an important tool in medical, odontological and biological research laboratories, supporting cell therapies and tissue bioengineering strategies. Gingival fibroblasts present structural function, being able to modulate their metabolic capacity, which is reflected in the tissue mo...

Amniotic membrane as a biological scaffold for dental pulp stem cell transplantation in ocular surface reconstruction

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 82 (1), 2019
ABSTRACT Purpose: To evaluate the ability of human immature dental pulp stem cells, which are mesenchymal stem cells of neural crest origin, to differentiate into the corneal epithelium for purposes of corneal transplantation and tissue engineering when cultured on de-epithelized amniotic membranes. Me...

An. bras. dermatol; 94 (1), 2019

Morphological observation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells under matrigel three dimensional culture conditions

Int. j. morphol; 37 (1), 2019
SUMMARY: Matrigel is a basement membrane matrix extracted from the EHS mouse tumor containing extracellular matrix protein, its main components are laminin, type IV collagen, nestin, heparin sulfate, growth factor and matrix metalloproteinase.At room temperature, Matrigel polymerized to form a three dime...

Isolation and characterization of a human cementocyte-like cell line, HCY-23

Abstract Cementum is the mineralized tissue covering the tooth root that functions in tooth attachment and post-eruptive adjustment of tooth position. It has been reported to be highly similar to bone in several respects but remains poorly understood in terms of development and regeneration. Here, we inv...

Induction of pluripotent stem cells by reprogramming human ocular fibroblasts under xeno-free conditions

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 81 (5), 2018
ABSTRACT Purposes: To develop an efficient and xeno-free standard eye-derived induced pluripotent stem cell reprogramming protocol for use during induced pluripotent stem cell-based cell therapies in treating retinal degenerative diseases and to compare the relative effectiveness of both animal- and non...

Characteristics of human natal stem cells cultured in allogeneic medium

Braz. dent. j; 29 (5), 2018
Abstract Recently, human natal dental pulp stem cells (hNDP-SCs) have been characterized in vitro and it has been shown that they satisfy criteria defining human mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), as proposed by the International Society for Cellular Therapy. However, these results were reached in the pre...

New methodologies for old problems: tridimensional gastrointestinal organoids and guts-on-a-chip

ABSTRACT Objectives: The present review intended to present a critical overview of the methodological and experimental advances concerning tridimensional cell culture models within the scope of gastrointestinal research. Methods: A literature review was performed and some of the main published articles...

Comparative analysis of Mouse Inoculation Test and Virus Isolation in Cell Culture for rabies diagnosis in animals of Parana, Brazil

Abstract INTRODUCTION: Rabies is an acute zoonotic disease, caused by a rhabdovirus that can affect all mammals, and is commonly transmitted by the bite of a rabid animal. The definitive diagnosis is laboratorial, by the Fluorescent Antibody Test (FAT) as a quick test and Mouse Inoculation Test (MIT) a...

Vesículas extracelulares derivadas de macrófagos alteram o potencial de invasão, proliferação e migração de linhagens celulares do carcinoma de células escamosas de língua oral

O câncer é composto pelas células malignas em proliferação associadas às diferentes células circunjacentes, formando o microambiente tumoral (TME), onde há uma constante troca de informações. Uma das formas de comunicação entre os diferentes tipos celulares do TME se dá por meio da liberaç�...
