Stem Cell Research & Therapy
The field of regenerative medicine provides enormous opportunities for generating beta cells from different stem cell sources for cellular therapy. Even though insulin-secreting cells can be generated from a variety of stem cell types like pluripotent stem cells and embryonic stem cells, the ideal functional cells should be generated from patients’...

BackgroundKidney transplantation is the treatment of choice in end-stage renal disease due to Alport syndrome (AS). However, the chances of finding an adequate living-related donor in AS are much worse compared to non-heritable conditions. Successful cases of related living-donor transplantation mostly refer to X-linked AS but are rarely reported i...

BackgroundThis study aims to carry out the vitrification freezing of a large ovarian tissue in the human body, and evaluate its feasibility.ResultsA total of 18 ovarian tissues in the human body were selected, and each tissue was cut into three large ovarian cortex slices. These tissues were randomly divided into three groups: vitrification freezin...

BackgroundHTLV-1 infection is a neglected disease, despite infecting 10–15 million people worldwide and severe illnesses develop in 10% of carriers lifelong. Acknowledging a greater risk for developing HTLV-1 associated illnesses due to immunosuppression, screening is being widely considered in the transplantation setting. Herein, we report the exp...

Surgical Case Reports
Nontuberculous mycobacteria can lead to pulmonary infection in lung transplantation cases, which is associated with high mortality rates. We hereby thank Dr. Ose et al. very much for their report on “Nontuberculous mycobacterial infection after lung transplantation: A report of four cases”; however, we have confronted with several questions to have...

Background: Definitive treatment strategies for bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) have not been developed. Cell-based therapy is an attractive treatment method for intractable diseases in the medical and dental fields;however, approval has been challenging in dentistry. Recently, we developed quality- A nd quantity (QQ)-contro...

for example, 0.03% of germ cells in the mouse testis are SSCs. In this study, we investigated the characteristics of bovine undifferentiated germ cells and developed an enrichment procedure for these cells on the basis of fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), using the specific cell surface marker glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor f...

BackgroundProcurement of bone allograft must be performed by trained personnel. Improper handling and lack of knowledge during bone procurement will lead to contamination hence jeopardizing quality of the procured bones and expose bone recipients to risks of infection in post-operative phase. Bone procurement workshop is the fundamental training pr...
