BACKGROUND: Co-transplantation of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) and endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) has shown superior angiogenic effects than ASCs alone in recent animal studies. However, EPCs could only be collected from blood vessels or...
BACKGROUND: Radiation therapies are often associated with permanent devitalization in the surrounding tissue. We hypothesized that stem cells are damaged depending on each irradiation dose and frequency of fractionated radiotherapies, which result...
Human adipose tissue is a rich source of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) and vascular endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). However, no standardized method has been established for the isolation and purification of adipose-derived EPCs (AEPCs). T...
Therapeutic effects of adult stem-cell transplantations are limited by poor cell-retention in target organs, and a reduced potential for optimal cell differentiation compared to embryonic stem cells. However, contemporary studies have indicated he...

We investigated the effect of oxygen tension on the proliferation and hair-inductive capacity of human dermal papilla cells (DPCs) and dermal sheath cells (DSCs). DPCs and DSCs were separately obtained from human hair follicles and each cultured u...
