Mesenchymal Stem Cells01:19

Mesenchymal Stem Cells

5.6K
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are adult stem cells that can differentiate into most connective tissue cell types, except for hematopoietic cells, depending upon the source of MSCs. For example, bone-marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs) can differentiate into osteocytes, hepatocytes, and pancreatic and neuronal cells. MSCs can be isolated from various sources such as bone marrow, placenta, adipose tissue, teeth, and Wharton’s jelly, a gelatinous substance in the umbilical cord. The ease of their...

Stem Cell Therapy for Tissue Regeneration

4.7K
Stem cell therapy is a method used in regenerative medicine to repair and restore function to damaged tissues and organs. Stem cells have the potential to proliferate and differentiate into various tissue types, making them ideal candidates for tissue regeneration. For example, hematopoietic stem cell transplants are commonly used in blood cancer treatment to replenish damaged bone marrow and restore healthy blood cells.

Cell Potential and Free Energy

46.6K
Thermodynamics of a Redox Reaction
Thermodynamics is the branch of physics dealing with the relationship between heat and other forms of energy. In an electrochemical cell, chemical energy is converted into electrical energy.
Thus, a link can be predicted between cell potential, free energy change, and the equilibrium constant for the reaction. Cell potential can also be measured as the oxidant or the reducing strength, and similar acid-base strength measures are reflected in equilibrium...

Embryonic Stem Cells00:58

Embryonic Stem Cells

32.5K
Embryonic stem (ES) cells are undifferentiated pluripotent cells, meaning they can produce any cell type in the body. This gives them tremendous potential in science and medicine since they can generate specific cell types for use in research or to replace body cells lost due to damage or disease.

Adult Stem Cells01:33

Adult Stem Cells

33.9K
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that divide and produce more stem cells or progenitor cells that differentiate into mature, specialized cell types. All the cells in the body are generated from stem cells in the early embryo, but small populations of stem cells are also present in many adult tissues including the bone marrow, brain, skin, and gut. These adult stem cells typically produce the various cell types found in that tissue—to replace cells that are damaged or to continuously...

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

28.1K
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that divide and produce different types of cells. Ordinarily, cells that have differentiated into a specific cell type are post-mitotic—that is, they no longer divide. However, scientists have found a way to reprogram these mature cells so that they “de-differentiate” and return to an unspecialized, proliferative state. These cells are also pluripotent like embryonic stem cells—able to produce all cell types—and are therefore...

Area of Science:

  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Transplantation Immunology
  • Stem Cell Biology

Background:

  • Ischemic damage significantly impairs kidney allograft function.
  • Ex vivo perfusion offers a window for therapeutic intervention.
  • Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) possess regenerative potential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy for accelerating repair of ischemically damaged human kidneys.
  • To investigate the hypothesis that direct intrarenal MSC administration enhances cellular repair via paracrine effects.

Main Methods:

  • Human kidney allografts from donation after circulatory death donors were used.
  • Kidneys were perfused ex vivo for 24 hours using the exsanguinous metabolic support (EMS) platform.
  • Paired kidneys were compared: one with EMS perfusion alone (control) and the other with EMS perfusion plus MSCs.

Main Results:

  • MSC treatment significantly reduced inflammatory cytokine synthesis.
  • MSC therapy increased adenosine triphosphate and growth factor synthesis, normalizing metabolism and cytoskeleton.
  • MSC-treated kidneys showed a significant increase in renal cell mitosis (26%) compared to controls.

Conclusions:

  • This study demonstrates ex vivo renal regeneration in ischemically damaged human kidneys.
  • Observed regeneration includes increased ATP synthesis, reduced inflammation, enhanced growth factors, and normalized cytoskeleton and mitosis.
  • Ex vivo renal tissue regeneration could revolutionize transplantation by addressing organ shortages.
