Chemo-Surveillance as a Natural Mechanism to Ensure Perfection of Wound Healing to Avoid Cancer Evolution and to Cure Cancer | Chapter 03 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 6

  The goal of this research is to look into the relationship between wound healing and cancer. The mechanics of wound healing, as well as the influence of wounds on cancer evolution and treatment, are discussed in this opinion piece. The proliferation and terminal differentiation (TD) of progenitor stem cells are required for wound healing (PSCs). PSCs (pluripotent stem cells) are pluripotent stem cells that can be differentiated into a variety of cells to aid wound healing. Wound healing is affected by compounds implicated in chemo-surveillance and cachexia. Prostaglandins (PGs) are produced in response to a wound, and they serve an important role in promoting the proliferation of PSCs in the early stages of the wound. Chemo-surveillance is used to induce PSC TD at the end of the wound healing process. The success of wound healing is determined on the effectiveness of chemo-surveillance. Because the functionality of chemo-surveillance is usually intact in healthy persons, wounds h...

FOETAL Organ Implantation into Adult Animals: A Model for In vivo Culture of Stem Cells? | Chapter 1 | Highlights on Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 18

Background: Because of the increased need and capacity to provide these interventions, stem cell implantations are increasingly being developed and used in clinics as an alternative and complementary solution to adult organ transplantation. However, there are significant drawbacks to using stem cells (for instance integration within the recipient organism of engineered tissues and organoids obtained in vitro from stem cells). In vivo studies of stem cell development and evaluation of the host's participation in this process may be possible via foetal organ implantation in adult animals. The goal of this study was to test various foetal organ implants. Part I: Different sites of foetal organ syngeneic implantation were postulated in over 650 investigations on rats and mice. Implant development was assessed using physiological (electric activity, motor and secretory activities) and morphological (per illumination, ultra sound and magnetic imaging, optic and electron microscopy) app...
