Background And Aim: Stem cells are cells that can proliferate to form a new tissue, leading to its use in regenerative therapy. Stem cells will secrete biological factors, such as growth factors, cytokines, and other proteins to their surroundings and culture medium/conditioned medium (CM), altering tissue physiology. These factors can help wound healing, but their effect on third-degree burns is poorly understood.

Inflammation is tightly correlated with aging, which is a progressive degenerative process. Conditioned medium (CM) from adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (CM-ATMSCs) has been shown to stimulate collagen synthesis and dermal fibroblast migration, as well as reduce wrinkles and improve wound healing.

Wharton's jelly (WJ), the main component of the umbilical cord extracellular matrix, comprises multipotent stem cells with a high proliferation rate and self-renewal capability and has anti-cancer properties. MSCs have been reported to secrete a variety of cytokines that have a cytotoxic effect in various cancers.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have unique properties, including high proliferation rates, self-renewal, and multilineage differentiation ability. Their characteristics are affected by increasing age and microenvironment. This research is aimed to determine the proliferation, characteristics and differentiation capacity of adipose tissue-derived (AT)-MSCs at many passages with different media.

The breast cancer therapy for patients has been done, but still not optimal, so it is necessary to understand the mechanism of therapy in model cell of breast cancer.
Aim: This study aim to develop an isolation technique of breast cancer cell from patients as a cancer cell model.
Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the activity of mangosteen peels extract (MPE) as protection agent on induced-glucose mesangial cells (SV40 MES 13 cell line ()).
Materials And Methods: MPE was performed based on maceration method. Cytotoxic assay was performed based on MTS (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium) method, while the level of TGF-β1 (Transforming growth factor-β1) and fibronectin in glucose-induced mesangial cells were assayed and determined using ELISA KIT.
Objectives: Inflammation is an immune response toward injuries. Although inflammation is healing response, but in some condition it will lead to chronic disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's and various cancer. Indonesian cassia ( C.

Green tea is known to have potent antioxidant and free radical scavenging activities. This study aimed to investigate whether green tea extract (GTE) can protect endothelial progenitors cells (EPCs) against oxidative stress through antioxidant mechanisms.
