Abstract excerpt
Crohn's disease (CD) is characterized by the expansion of mesenteric fat, also known as "creeping fat." We explored the plasticity and immune properties of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) in the context of CD as potential key players in the development of creeping fat. Mesenteric CD-derived ASCs presented a more proliferative, inflammatory, invasive, and phagocytic phenotype than equivalent cells from healthy...
