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 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.

Description: Cell Biolabs? HIF-1 Cell Based ELISA Kit is an immunoassay developed for rapid detection of HIF-1 Alpha in fixed cells. Cells on a microplate are stimulated for HIF-1 Alpha stabilization, fixed, permeabilized, and then neutralized in the well. HIF-1 Alpha is then detected with an anti-HIF-1 alpha antibody followed by an HRP conjugated secondary antibody. Each kit provides sufficient reagents to perform up to a total of 96 assays and can detect HIF-1 Alpha from human, mouse, or rat.
Description: Cell Biolabs? CytoSelect Cell Proliferation Assay Reagent (Fluorometric) provides a fluorometric format for measuring and monitoring cell proliferation. Cells can be plated and then treated with compounds or agents that affect proliferation. Cells are then incubated with the proliferation reagent. Upon entering metabolically active live cells, the non-fluorescent proliferation reagent is converted into a bright red fluorescent form. An increase in cell proliferation is accompanied by increased fluorescent signal, while a decrease in cell proliferation (and signal) can indicate the toxic effects of compounds or suboptimal culture conditions. The assay principles are basic and can be applied to most eukaryotic cell lines, including adherent and non-adherent cells and certain tissues. This cell proliferation reagent can be used to detect proliferation in bacteria, yeast, fungi, protozoa as well as cultured mammalian and piscine cells. The kit contains sufficient reagents for the evaluation of 960 assays in ten 96-well plates or 192 assays in eight 24-well plates.
