A novel approach to determine anti-proliferative, anti-migratory and anti-microbial properties of 2-phenylethylammonium carboxylate molecular salts

2-Phenylethylammonium (PEA) salt derivatives have been prepared between 2-phenylethylamine with various aromatic carboxylic acids (nicotinic, benzoic, salicylic, and γ-resorcylic) and confirmed by spectroscopic analyses. Additionally, the possible biological activities of these salts have been examined and the antiproliferative and antimigrative effects of salts on breast and colon cancer cell lines have been determined. Furthermore, to obtain preliminary data for the effects of the indicated compounds on cancer angiogenesis, in vitro migration analysis has been performed by human vascular endothelial cells. The antibacterial effects of the compounds have also been investigated. Therefore, an important contribution has been made to studies conducted to better recognize the pharmacological effects of salts

Comparison of the osteogenic differentiation capacity of adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cells from humans and rats

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be found in many types of adult tissues such as the bone marrow, adipose, placenta, liver, and periosteum. Recently, adipose tissue-derived MSCs (ADMSCs) have become one the most preferred MSC types because of their fast proliferation rate, abundance, and high plasticity for variable cell types. It is known that ADMSCs are able to differentiate into various cells, including osteoblasts, so they are quite promising for orthopedic clinical trials. The present study aimed to compare the osteogenic differentiation conditions of MSCs from human adipose tissue (hADMSC) and those of MSCs from rat adipose tissue (rADMSC). Therefore, differentiation experiments with five different media and two (human and rat) ADMSC types were performed and the mineralization responses of hADMSCs and rADMSCs were different
