Concise Review: Human Adipose-Derived Stem Cells: Separating Promise from Clinical Need

Abstract excerpt

Human adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) have become an increasing interest to both stem cell biologists and clinicians because of their potential to differentiate into adipogenic, osteogenic, chondrogenic, and other mesenchymal lineages, as well as other clinically useful properties attributed to them, such as stimulation of angiogenesis and suppression of inflammation. ASCs have already been used in a number of...
