OBJECTIVES: In this study, natural substances were introduced as primary dental pulp caps for use in pulp therapy, and the antimicrobial and cytotoxic properties of these substances were investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this in vitr…

BACKGROUND: The role of the basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) has well known in the angiogenesis and ulcer healing. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of bFGF on tissue repair in a rat oral mucosal wound. METHODS: Musosal …

PURPOSE: One of the most common causes of infertility in adult women is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) which has been identified with symptoms such as chronic hyperandrogenism, anovulation, and polycystic ovaries. Adiponectin modulates st…

BACKGROUND: Chronic exposure to silica is related with the provocation of an inflammatory response and oxidative stress mechanism. Vitamin D has multiple benefits in biological activities particularly respiratory system disease. METHOD: In…

OBJECTIVE: A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 4 (ADAMTS-4) and ADAMTS-5 normal expression levels are essential for ovulation and subsequent fertilization. The objective of the present study was to assess expressi…

Alzheimer's disease is the most common neurodegenerative disease associated with deposition of amyloid-beta and the increased oxidative stress. High free radical scavenging ability of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) has been acknowledged, so…

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the common neurodegenerative diseases characterized by memory impairment. The protective effects of stem cell-based therapy have been reported in AD. In this study, it was assumed that Chitosan-coated Sele…

AIMS: Stem cell-based therapy is one of the promising strategies in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the short lifespan and low homing of transplanted cells continue to be a major obstacle in this method. Preconditioning of st…

MDMA (3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine) is a common recreational drug of abuse which causes neurodegeneration. Nicotine and modafinil provide antioxidant and neuroprotective properties and may be beneficial in the management of MDMA-induce…

AIMS: Memory impairment is determined to be the most well-known symptom of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Although cell therapy seems is an efficient therapeutic strategy to attenuate the AD-related memory impairment, transplanted cells have a s…

PurposeCell therapy is a promising strategy for the treatment of Asherman's syndrome (AS), but the origin of these cells and injection route influence the therapeutic effect and complications of cell therapy. Herein, we compared the effects…

Asherman's syndrome (AS) is an endometrial damage that results in infertility in women. Although stem cell therapy has been introduced as a potential treatment for this syndrome, its use in clinical settings remains challenging because of t…

Regulatory role of vitamin D (VitD) in cognitive memory and learning has been proposed. Here, we examine the behavioral and biochemical effects of VitD in Alzheimer's disease (AD), as the most common form of dementia, in male Wistar rats. A…

INTRODUCTION: The administration of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) or ecstasy causes memory impairment, whereas neurogenesis improves memory and learning. Hence, this study evaluated the effects of MDMA on neurogenesis in the hipp…

AIMS: Improving the environment of the injured area and the preconditioning of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are promising approaches to optimize the therapeutic properties of transplanted MSCs. Herein we investigated the synergistic effect…

PURPOSE: ADAMTS-1 and 9 play a crucial role in the ovulation and their altered levels may play a role in the pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The aim of this study was to assess ADAMTS-1 and 9 expression and their correlati…

Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation therapy has been proposed as a promising approach for the treatment of neurodegenerative disease. Chemical and pharmacological preconditioning before transplantation could optimize the therapeutic…

Background Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder that undesirably affects both central and peripheral nervous systems through the apoptosis of neurons. Insulin and insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) inhibit apoptosis of oligoden…

The objective of this study was to assess the antibacterial activity of Rifampicin-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles on Brucella abortus 544. Rifampicin-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles were prepared by a modified microemulsion/sonication me…

Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CNPs) as an antioxidant have been used frequently to attenuate hyperglycaemia oxidative damage in different organs. We investigated the impact CNPs on the qualitative and quantitative sperm parameters, spermatoge…

BACKGROUND: Subcutaneous injection of insulin can lead to problems such as hypoglycemia and edema. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this research was to evaluate the effect of oral insulin-coated trimethyl chitosan nanoparticles on control of gly…

CeO2 nanoparticles (CNPs) as effective ROS scavengers exhibit potent antioxidant activity. In this study the effect of CNPs investigated was on HO-1, NQO1, and GCLC expression in the streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Twenty-four m…

The freshly prepared magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MIONPs) were coated with SiO2 and then modified with a Si-based linker (SiL) having chlorine atom at the end of its chain. The resulting chlorine functionalized MIONPs were bonded to c…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of H2O2 on the migration and antioxidant defense of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and the neurotrophic effects of H2O2-treated MSCs on spinal cord injury (SCI). RESULTS: Sublethal concentrations of H2O2…

5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) as a chemotherapeutic drug is used to treat colorectal cancer (CRC). However, 5-FU is associated with acquired CRC resistance, which decreases the therapeutic potential of 5-FU. Several studies indicated that miR-200c …
