We investigated the effect of human umbilical mesenchymal stem cells (HUMSCs) from Wharton's jelly on carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4 )-induced liver fibrosis in rats. Rats were treated with CCl 4 for 4 weeks, and this was followed by a direct injection of HUMSCs into their livers. After 4 more weeks of
## Abstract Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive degeneration of nigrostriatal dopaminergic (DA) neurons. The therapeutic potential of glial cell lineβderived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), the most potent neurotrophic factor for DA neurons, has been dem
## Abstract ## Background and Objectives Bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have shown to be an appealing source for cell therapy and tissue engineering. Previous studies have confirmed that the application of lowβlevel laser irradiation (LLLI) could affect the cellular process. Ho
