Adipose-Derived Stromal/Stem Cells: A Primer
This review article focuses on these mechanisms of adipose stromal/stem cell action and their potential utility as cellular therapeutics.
Adipose-Derived Stem Cells Weigh in as Novel Therapeutics for Acute Lung Injury
We discuss the advantages and potential limitations of using adipose-derived stem cells as therapeutics for human acute lung injury.
Extracts of Adipose Derived Stem Cells Slows Progression in the R6/2 Model of Huntington’s Disease
Stem cell transplantation has been investigated as a therapeutic strategy to treat the Huntington's disease (HD). Considering clinical feasibility and safety, injection of cell-free extracts of ASCs (ASCs-E) could be effective and safe strategy for HD patients, comparable to the stem cell therapy. Findings from our study provide possible strategy to inhibit HD progression and reasonable resources for treatment.
Decreased Erythrocyte Deformability After Transfusion and the Effects of Erythrocyte Storage Duration
The findings demonstrate that increased duration of erythrocyte storage is associated with decreased cell membrane deformability and that these changes are not readily reversible after transfusion.
Outcomes of Less Invasive J-Incision Approach to Aortic Valve Surgery
Within that portion of the spectrum of isolated aortic valve surgery where propensity matching was possible, minimally invasive aortic valve surgery had not only cosmetic advantages, but blood product use, respiratory, pain, and resource utilization advantages over full sternotomy, and no apparent detriments.
Noise Levels in Modern Operating Rooms During Surgery
This study consistently showed that noise in the operating room is louder during the critical anesthesia components of the case.
Establishing proof of concept: Platelet-Rich Plasma and Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate may Improve Cartilage Repair Following Surgical Treatment for Osteochondral Lesions of the Talus
The basic science literature therefore establishes the proof of concept that biological adjuncts may improve cartilage repair when used in conjunction with reparative and replacement treatment strategies for osteochondral lesions of the talus.
In Vivo Comparison of the Bone Regeneration Capability of Human Bone Marrow Concentrates vs. Platelet-Rich Plasma
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of human BMAC and PRP in combination with β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) on promoting initial bone augmentation in an immunodeficient mouse model.
