This Review is part of a thematic series on the Pathobiology of Obesity, which includes the following articles:
Adipose-Derived Stem Cells for Regenerative Medicine
Obesity: Energy Metabolism at the Heart of the Problem
Lipid Disorders and the Metabolic Syndrome
Obesity and Leptin Resistance
Adiponectin as a Cardiovascular Protectant
Gary Lopaschuk Guest Editor
The emerging field of regenerative medicine will require a reliable source of stem cells in addition to biomaterial scaffolds and cytokine growth factors. Adipose tissue represents an abundant and accessible source of adult stem cells with the ability to differentiate along multiple lineage pathways. The isolation, characterization, and preclinical and clinical application of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) are reviewed in this article.
Key Words: adipose tissue adult stem cells bone marrow stromal cell differentiation tissue engineering
