Introduction The hepatic growth factor (HGF) stimulates DNA synthesis and cell proliferation and plays a role in tissue protection and regeneration. In this study, we have examined the effect of incubation of HGF with urine-derived stem cells (USCs) on the secretion of small extracellular vesicles (sEV) by the cells. Materials and Methods HGF in th...

Introduction The stromal vascular fraction (SVF) of human adipose tissue is an attractive cell source for engineering grafts with intrinsic vascularization potential, as it is rich in vasculogenic progenitors. However, in order to maintain their functional perfusion it is important to promote the in vivo stabilization of newly assembled microvascul...

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a local treatment modality for primary liver cancers. Although various input parameters of the RF generator have been adjusted to improve the ablation ranges, the limited ablation ranges remain an obstacle to RFA. This study aimed to compare the ablation ranges and efficacy of sine and square electrical waveforms in...
