Assessment of nucleic acid content, amino acid profile, carcass, and meat quality of Thai native chicken.

Functional foods are innovative products that hold health-enhancing potential. They are contributing to changing trends in both consumer behavior and the market. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of breed on the nucleic acid content, amino acid profile, carcass, and meat quality of different breeds of chickens.

MicroRNA treatment modulates osteogenic differentiation potential of mesenchymal stem cells derived from human chorion and placenta.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are important in regenerative medicine because of their potential for multi-differentiation. Bone marrow, chorion and placenta have all been suggested as potential sources for clinical application. However, the osteogenic differentiation potential of MSCs derived from chorion or placenta is not very efficient.

The Effects of BMP-2, miR-31, miR-106a, and miR-148a on Osteogenic Differentiation of MSCs Derived from Amnion in Comparison with MSCs Derived from the Bone Marrow.

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) offering valuable anticipations for the treatment of degenerative diseases. They can be found in many tissues including amnion. MSCs from amnion (AM-MSCs) can differentiate into osteoblast similar to that of bone marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs).

Bone morphogenetic protein-2 enhances the osteogenic differentiation capacity of mesenchymal stromal cells derived from human bone marrow and umbilical cord.

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells that can give rise to different cell types of the mesodermal lineages. They are powerful sources for cell therapy in regenerative medicine as they can be isolated from various tissues, and can be expanded and induced to differentiate into multiple lineages. Recently, the umbilical cord has been suggested as an alternative source of MSCs.

The Effects of TNF-α on Osteogenic Differentiation of Umbilical Cord Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent stem cells which are able to differentiate into various lineages including osteoblasts, adipocytes and chondrocytes. They can be isolated from several tissues including bone marrow, adipose tissue, placenta and umbilical cord. Although MSCs could be diferentiated into osteoblasts under appropriate culture condition, their osteogenic differentiation capacity is still not very efficient.

The expression of neurogenic markers after neuronal induction of chorion-derived mesenchymal stromal cells.

Objectives: Chorion is a tissue of early embryologic period that is discarded after delivery. It might be the potential source of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) that can be used for research and eventually for therapeutic studies. At present, the biological properties and the differentiation capacity of chorion-derived MSCs are still poorly characterised.
