Human embryonic stem cell has been used extensively in research; it has certain advantagecompared to animal stem cell, but application in clinical setting is ethically problematik.Nuclear reprogramming attempt to produce pluripotent cells made a breakhrough by the discovery of induced pluripotent stem cells from adult somatik cells. Transfection of 4 transcription factors Oct3/4.c-Myc . Sox2 an…
The conventional method of mononuclear cells (MNCs) isolation from human umbilical cord blood (UCB) yielded high erythrocyte contamination level. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the differences of cell viability and erythrocyte contamination on the population of UCB MNCs in our modified isolation method. This study was also aimed to test the function and characteristic of human M…
Nature gives all living organisms capabilities to survive many challenges during their life; including cells and organs regeneration like regeneration of injured skin and continued supply of blood cells. The regeneration process is executed by stem cells. Thus, stem cells clearly play an important part in the development, maturation, and regeneration process throughout the body. Recently knowle…
