Journal ArticleDOI

Mesenchymal stem cell-based therapy: a new paradigm in regenerative medicine.

TL;DR: MSC transplantation, genetically modified MSC‐based therapy, tissue engineering using MSCs, and challenges and future prospects are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mesenchymal Stem Cells: Molecular Targets for Tissue Engineering

TL;DR: Improved expansion as well as osteogenic differentiation of MSCs can be attained using a combinatorial approach involving co-expression of proliferation and differentiation genes, however, a thorough understanding of the molecular mechanism is necessary for enhancing the self-renewal ability and osteogenic potential in vitro.
Journal ArticleDOI

In vitro antifungal activity of hydroxychavicol isolated from Piper betle L

TL;DR: The antifungal activity exhibited by hydroxychavicol warrants its use as an antIFungal agent particularly for treating topical infections, as well as gargle mouthwash against oral Candida infections.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stromal-Derived Factor-1/CXCR4 Signaling: Indispensable Role in Homing and Engraftment of Hematopoietic Stem Cells in Bone Marrow

TL;DR: Current knowledge of the mechanisms through which SDF-1/CXCR4 signaling promotes restoration of hematopoiesis by regulating the homing and engraftment of HSPCs are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Leishmania antigens are presented to CD8+ T cells by a transporter associated with antigen processing-independent pathway in vitro and in vivo.

TL;DR: Leishmania Ags appear to be confined to an intraphagosomal processing pathway that requires higher concentrations of Ags, suggesting that these parasites may have evolved strategies to impair the efficient endoplasmic reticulum-based, TAP-dependent cross-presentation pathway to avoid or delay CD8+ T cell priming.
