Introduction Success of adipose tissue engineering for soft tissue repair has been limited by poor cell survival and insufficient adipogenic differentiation. Although the choice of scaffold can influence these parameters, there is a limited number of studies focussing on the role of scaffolds in cell survival and. adipogenic differentiation. In this study we examined how three-dimensional scaff...

The use of processed bone allograft to repair large osseous defects of the skull has been limited, given that it lacks the osteogenic cellularity and intrinsic vascular supply which are essential elements for successful graft healing and, at the same time, the areas to be targeted through tissue-engineering applications. In this study, we investigated the effect of predifferentiated rat adipose...

Background: Adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ASC) possess the ability to differentiate into adipocytes or endothelial cells to help in the adipogenesis, vasculogenesis and vascular repair. This study aims at determining the impact of highfat diets (HFD)-induced type 2 diabetes (T2D) on the differentiation potential of ASC. Results: C57BL/6J male mice were fed a vegetal (VD) or an animal (AD) ...

Chronic wounds represent a major socio-economic problem in developed countries today. Wound healing is a complex biological process. It requires a well-orchestrated interaction of mediators, resident cells and infiltrating cells. In this context, mesenchymal stem cells and keratinocytes play a crucial role in tissue regeneration. In chronic wounds these processes are disturbed and cell viabilit...

background mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) are ideal candidates for treatment of diseases. amniotic membranes are an inexpensive source of mscs (am-msc) without any donor site morbidity in cell therapy. adipose tissue derived stem cells (ascs) are also suitable cells for cell therapy. there is discrepancy in cd271 expression among mscs from different sources. in this study, the characteristics of...

BACKGROUND Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are ideal candidates for treatment of diseases. Amniotic membranes are an inexpensive source of MSCs (AM-MSC) without any donor site morbidity in cell therapy. Adipose tissue derived stem cells (ASCs) are also suitable cells for cell therapy. There is discrepancy in CD271 expression among MSCs from different sources. In this study, the characteristics...

Carpal chip fractures are common causes of lameness in racehorses. Due to disadvantages in surgical management, adjuvant treatment modalities are usually necessary. Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have the potential to differentiate into other cell types including bone and cartilage cells. Adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF) is produced during ADSCs isolation from adipose tissue....

Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based therapies are emerging as promising approach to treat chronic wounds, although uncontrolled/sub-optimal delivery represents a major threat their wide-spread clinical adoption. Here we report comprehensive pre-clinical evaluation program on the mechanism of action, efficacy and safety an easy-to-use patch that concentrates MSC extracted from human fat (ASCs) in ...

In the present study, we transplanted adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells into the hippocampi of APP/PS1 transgenic Alzheimer's disease model mice. Immunofluorescence staining revealed that the number of newly generated (BrdU(+)) cells in the subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus in the hippocampus was significantly higher in Alzheimer's disease mice after adipose-derived mesenchymal stem ce...
