Mice cloned from white adipose tissue-derived cells

Mice cloned from white adipose tissue-derived cells.

Isolation of different cells from adipose tissue was performed according to the previous reports (Rodeheffer et al., 2008; Sugii et al., 2010). Briefly, the inguinal fat pads of adult male B6D2F1 (8-12 weeks of age) mice were harvested, washed several times with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and excised into small pieces. The tissues were digested with 0.1% type I collagenase (Sigma) for 50 m...

Letter to the Editor Mice cloned from white adipose tissue-derived cells

Dear Editor, Somatic cells can be reprogrammed into totipotent or pluripotent state by nuclear transfer (NT) or the ‘Yamanaka method’. White adipose tissue (WAT) is a source of readily accessible donor cells that provide virtually unlimited cells for reprogramming. Recently, freshly isolated white adipose tissue-derived cells (ADCs) from humans or mice have been successfully reprogrammed into i...

Cytotoxicity of Chitosan Derived from Shrimp for Bone Scaffold on Adipose Tissue-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Mesenchymal Stem Cells Derived from Rat Epicardial Versus Epididymal Adipose Tissue

Objective(s) Some investigation has indicated that adipose-derived stem cells possess different surface epitopes and differentiation potential according to the localization of fat pad from which the cells were derived. In the present study proliferation capacity and aging of such cells were explored. Materials and Methods Adherent cells were isolated from the collagenase digests of adipose tiss...

Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells Derived From Human Adipose Tissue into Cholinergic-like Cells: In Vitro Study

Introduction: Cholinergic-associated diseases currently constitute a significant cause of neurological and neurodegenerative disabilities.  As the drugs are not efficient in improving the suffered tissues, stem cell treatment is considered an effective strategy for substituting the lost cells. Methods: In the current study, we set out to investigate the differentiation properties of human adip...
