Invited contribution to the volume: “Stem cells & cancer stem cells, regenerative medicine & cancer” (VSI stem cells) reprogramming and transdifferentiation – two key processes for regenerative medicine
regenerative medicine based transplants obtained from donors or mesenchymal stem cells of the fetus and newborn, important obstacles such as limited availability of organs, ethical issues and immune rejection. The increasing demand for therapeutic methods for patients hospitalized after a serious crash, severe organ dysfunction and an increased number of cancer surgery, beyond the therapeutic possibilities that are currently available.
Reprogramming and transdifferentiation provide a powerful biotechnological tool. Both procedures are based on a differentiated somatic cells, which are easily and indefinitely available, such as for example.: Fibroblasts. During the procedure of reprogramming mature cells transformed into pluripotent cells – capable of differentiating into virtually any desired cell types.
Transdifferentiation directly convert differentiated cells from one type to another type of differentiated cell. Both procedures allow for special cells obtained by a patient for therapeutic purposes in regenerative medicine. In combination with biomaterials, it is possible to obtain even the anatomical structure of the whole. special structure they can serve for their patients after a serious accident with major tissue damage but also in cancer surgery as a replacement of damaged organs. Detailed information about reprogramming and transdifferentiation procedures as well as the current state of the art is presented in our review.
The aim of regenerative medicine to restore the normal function of diseased or damaged cells, tissues, and organs using a set of different approaches, including cell-based therapies. In the field of veterinary medicine, regenerative medicine is closely related to the use of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC), which belong to the body’s repair system and is defined as multipotent progenitor cells, capable of replicating themselves and differentiate into different cell types.This review aims to take stock of what is known about the MSC and its use in veterinary medicine focuses on clinical reports in dogs and horses on musculoskeletal diseases, areas of extensive studies reported in the literature data.

Human Pluripotent Stem Cells Derived Stromal Cells Heart and Their Applications in Regenerative Medicine
Coronary heart disease is a leading cause of death in the United States. recent advances in stem cell biology has led to the development and engineering of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC) -derived heart cells and tissues for applications in the study of cellular therapy and cardiotoxicity. Initial research in this area has largely been focused on improving the efficiency of cardiomyocyte differentiation and maturation state.
However, other cell types in the heart, including endothelial cells and stroma plays an important role in the development of heart disease, response to injury and cardiomyocyte function. This review discusses recent advances in hPSCs differentiation of stromal cells to the heart, the identification and classification of stromal cell types of the heart, and application hPSC derived stromal cells of the heart and of tissue containing these cells in regenerative applications and drug development.

Description: The CytoSelect BrdU Cell Proliferation ELISA Kit detects BrdU incorporated into cellular DNA during cell proliferation using an anti-BrdU antibody. When cells are incubated in media containing BrdU, the pyrimidine analog is incorporated in place of thymidine into the newly synthesized DNA of proliferating cells. Once the labeling media is removed, the cells are fixed and the DNA is denatured in one step with a fix/denature solution (denaturation of the DNA is necessary to improve the accessibility of the incorporated BrdU for detection). Then an anti-BrdU mouse monoclonal antibody is added followed by an HRP conjugated secondary antibody to detect the incorporated BrdU. The magnitude of the absorbance for the developed color is proportional to the quantity of BrdU incorporated into cells and can be directly correlated to cell proliferation.

Radius 24-Well Cell Migration Assay, (Collagen I Coated)
Description: The Radius Cell Migration Assay provides a unique alternative to conventional cell migration assays using the Boyden chamber. Unlike Boyden chamber assays which may only be analyzed at endpoint, the Radius assay uses a proprietary cell culture plate containing a carefully-defined biocompatible hydrogel (Radius gel) spot centralized at the bottom of each well. When cells are seeded in the well, they will attach everywhere except on the Radius gel, creating a cell-free zone. Following cell seeding the Radius gel is removed, allowing migratory cells to move across the area and close the gap.
