Adipose-Derived Stem Cells and Their Potential to Differentiate into the Epithelial Lineage

Abstract excerpt

Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) possess a multilineage differentiation potential, can be used from an autologous origin, and are, therefore, attractive candidates for clinical applications to repair or regenerate damaged tissues and organs. Adipose tissue as a stem cell source is ubiquitously available and has several advantages compared with other sources. It is easily accessible in large quantities with a...
