Stem cells in dermatology

An. bras. dermatol; 89 (2), 2014
Preclinical and clinical research have shown that stem cell therapy could be a promising therapeutic option for many diseases in which current medical treatments do not achieve satisfying results or cure. This article describes stem cells sources and their therapeutic applications in dermatology today....

Expression of non-neuronal cholinergic system in maxilla of rat in vivo

Biol. Res; 47 (), 2014
BACKGROUND: Acetylcholine (ACh) is known to be a key neurotransmitter in the central and peripheral nervous systems, which is also produced in a variety of non-neuronal tissues and cell. The existence of ACh in maxilla in vivo and potential regulation role for osteogenesis need further study. RESULTS: Co...

Effects of 200cH medications on mice bone marrow cells and macrophages.

Int. j. high dilution res; 10 (35), 2011
Paracelsus once wrote: "All things are poison and nothing is without poison, only the dose permits something not to be poisonous." Latter Hahnemann formulated the law of similars, preparations which cause certain symptoms in healthy individuals if given in diluted form to patients exhibiting similar symp...

Evaluation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in interradicular bone marrow in olpadronate treated animals

Acta odontol. latinoam; 23 (3), 2010
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a protein that increases vascular permeability and induces the proliferation, migration and survival of endothelial cells. Bisphosphonates (BPs) are antiresorptive drugs that are widely used in the treatment of bone metabolism diseases and bone metastases. Sin...

Inducción de respuesta inmune primaria por células dendríticas de rata
Induction of primary immune response by rat dendritic cells

En el presente trabajo se generaron células dendríticas (DC) a partir de precursores de médula ósea de ratas en presencia de GM-CSF e IL-4. Bajo estas condiciones experimentales obtuvimos gran número de DC maduras con típica morfología dendrítica y con elevada expresión de moléculas MHC clase I...

Prevention of bone marrow graft failure by an anti LFA-1 monoclonal antibody

Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 82 (supl.2), 1987
Graft rejection is the major cause of failure of HLA mismatched bone marrow transplantation because of residual host immunity. we have proposed to use a monoclonal murine antibody specific for the LFA-1 molecule (25-3) to prevent graft failure in HLA mismatched bone marrow transplantation (BMT). The rati...
