Can Stem Cells Ameliorate the Pancreatic Damage Induced by Streptozotocin in Rats?

Highlights • Diabetes mellitus represents a global health problem. • There is a great deal of interest in stem cell therapy for failing tissue and organs repair. • Mesenchymal stem cells have been isolated from the bone marrow of white male albino rats, then differentiated into insulin-producing cel...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Diabetes mellitus represents a global health problem. • There is a great deal of interest in stem cell therapy for failing tissue and organs repair. • Mesenchymal stem cells have been isolated from the bone marrow of white male albino rats, then differentiated into insulin-producing cells by using cocktail of growth factor. • Both mesenchymal stem cell and insulin-producing cell therapy have been shown to normalize aberrant biochemical parameters in rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes.
