Shock wave-pretreated bone marrow cells further improve left ventricular function after myocardial infarction in rabbits

Shock wave-pretreated bone marrow cells further improve left ventricular function after myocardial infarction in rabbits

We tested whether shock wave (SW) offers additional benefits in improving left ventricular (LV) function after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in rabbits receiving SW-treated autologous bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells (BMDMNCs) transplantation. Click here to read more.

​Mesenchymal stem cell-dependent formation of heterotopic tendon-bone insertions (osteotendinous junctions)

​Mesenchymal stem cell-dependent formation of heterotopic tendon-bone insertions (osteotendinous junctions)

Ligament-to-bone and tendon-to-bone interfaces (entheses, osteotendinous junctions [OTJs]) serve to dissipate stress between soft tissue and bone. Surgical reconstruction of these interfaces is an issue of considerable importance as they are prone to injury and the integration of bone and...

“In vitro” and multicolor phenotypic characterization of cell subpopulations identified in fresh human adipose tissue stromal vascular fraction and in the derived mesenchymal cells

“In vitro” and multicolor phenotypic characterization of cell subpopulations identified in fresh human adipose tissue stromal vascular fraction and in the derived mesenchymal cells

The stromal vascular fraction (SVF) is a heterogeneous cell population derived from the adipose tissue. There is still a lack of information concerning the characterization of the cell subpopulations constituting the SVF as well as its mesenchymal and haematopoietic potential....

Shock Wave Therapy Enhances Mitochondrial Delivery into Target Cells and Protects against Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Shock Wave Therapy Enhances Mitochondrial Delivery into Target Cells and Protects against Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

The respiratory system (i.e., oral-nasal-laryngeal tract, bronchus, trachea, and alveolar sacs in the lungs) is critical for maintenance of an adequate oxygen supply and excretion of carbon dioxide (CO2). For this purpose, the lung parenchyma has a dense capillary network...
