  2. Hemorrhoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemorrhoid

    Hemorrhoids (or haemorrhoids), also known as piles, are vascular structures in the anal canal. [7] [8] In their normal state, they are cushions that help with stool control. [2] They become a disease when swollen or inflamed; the unqualified term hemorrhoid is often used to refer to the disease. [8]

  3. Mesenchymal stem cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesenchymal_stem_cell

    Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), also known as mesenchymal stromal cells or medicinal signaling cells, are multipotent stromal cells that can differentiate into a variety of cell types, including osteoblasts (bone cells), chondrocytes (cartilage cells), myocytes (muscle cells) and adipocytes (fat cells which give rise to marrow adipose tissue).

  4. Stromal cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stromal_cell

    Being a mesenchymal cell indicates an ability to develop into various other cell types and tissues such as connective tissue, blood vessels, and lymphatic tissue. [5] Some stromal cells can be considered stem cells but not all therefore it can not be broadly termed a stem cell. All MSCs have the ability adhere to plastic and replicate by ...

  5. Stem-cell therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem-cell_therapy

    Different types of mesenchymal stem cells and other additives are still being researched to find the best type of cell and method for long-term treatment. [ 23 ] Adipose-derived mesenchymal cells are currently the most often used for stem cell treatment of osteoarthritis because of the non-invasive harvesting.

  6. Mesenchyme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesenchyme

    Primary mesenchyme is the first embryonic mesenchymal tissue to emerge, and it is produced from EMT in epiblast cells. In the epiblast , it is induced by the primitive streak through Wnt signaling , and produces endoderm and mesoderm from a transitory tissue called mesendoderm during the process of gastrulation .

  7. Hemosiderosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemosiderosis

    This finding indicates mesenchymal iron overload (within Kupffer cells and/or portal macrophages) rather than parenchymal iron overload (within hepatocytes). [7] There are several methods available for diagnosing and monitoring hemosiderosis including: Serum ferritin; Liver biopsy; MRI

  8. Rubber band ligation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_band_ligation

    The hemorrhoid will shrink and fibrose within a few days with shriveled hemorrhoidal tissue and band falling off during normal bowel movements - likely without the patient noticing. [ 3 ] Rubber band ligation is a popular procedure for the treatment of hemorrhoids, as it involves a much lower risk of pain than surgical treatments of hemorrhoids ...

  9. Connective tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connective_tissue

    [23]: 160 This tissue is no longer present after birth, leaving only scattered mesenchymal cells throughout the body. [25] Various types of specialized tissues and cells are classified under the spectrum of connective tissue, and are as diverse as brown and white adipose tissue, blood, cartilage and bone.
