Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are defined as cells that undergo sustained in vitro growth
and can give rise to multiple mesenchymal lineages. Because MSCs have only been …

Various types of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells have been established by different
methods, and each type exhibits different biological properties. Before iPS cell-based clinical …

Although recent reports have described multipotent, self-renewing, neural crest-derived stem
cells (NCSCs), the NCSCs in various adult rodent tissues have not been well characterized …

In chronic kidney disease, fibroblast dysfunction causes renal fibrosis and renal anemia.
Renal fibrosis is mediated by the accumulation of myofibroblasts, whereas renal anemia is …

Study Design: Guideline development. Objectives: The objective of this study is to develop
guidelines that outline how to best manage (1) patients with mild, moderate, and severe …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a heterogeneous subset of stromal stem cells isolated
from many adult tissues. Previous studies reported that MSCs can differentiate to both …

We report the presence of neural crest‐derived corneal precursors (COPs) that initiate
spheres by clonal expansion from a single cell. COPs expressed the stem cell markers nestin, …

Objective: To develop recommendations on the timing of surgical decompression in patients
with traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) and central cord syndrome. Methods: A systematic …

Introduction Our group has conducted extensive basic and preclinical studies of the use of
human induced pluripotent cell (iPSC)-derived neural stem/progenitor cell (hiPSC-NS/PC) …

Introduction: The objective of this guideline is to outline the appropriate use of methylprednisolone
sodium succinate (MPSS) in patients with acute spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods: A …
