Effective treatment methods for neurodegenerative diseases are not available yet. The lack of effective treatment methods has emerged as a serious and immediate problem that could potentially be solved by bioengineering applications such as neural tissue engineering. Neural regeneration can be achieved to a larger extent by tissue engineering appro...

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells capable of differentiating into osteoblasts, chondrocytes, adipocytes, myoblasts and neural cells. MSCs have drawn great interest in the field of regenerative medicine, since these cells can be easily isolated from the tissues, such as bone marrow, adipose tissue, umbilical cord blood and mucosa b...

Dendritic cells are immunogenic and tolorogenic cells that present the first stage antigen in the immune system. Dendritic cells are usually found in peripheral tissues. Blood and skin are the most easily accessible structures to examine these cells. Dendritic cells are most commonly used in vaccine production and development. In this review we aim...

Derived from different origins in the human body, stem cells are a source of cells that can be transformed into different types of cell structures. Stem cell studies are increasing in clinical treatments day by day. Mesenchymal stem cells are the most commonly used type of stem cells. Mesenchymal stem cells present applications for treatment in dif...

Currently, cardiovascular diseases are among the most common causes of death in adults, with high mortality rates. The treatment of cardiovascular diseases is limited by factors such as donor deficiency and immunological tolerance. On the face of it, studies on person-specific treatment methods are rapidly taking place. Tissue engineering studies a...
