title: Adipose mesenchymal stem cells. Their characteristics and potential application in tissue repair.
abstract: Mesenchymal stem cells, derived from adipose tissue do not differ substantially from mesenchymal stem cells isolated from bone marrow stroma. They are able to differentiate in differentiating culture medium into various cell type of mesodermal lineage, but also into cells of ectodermal type. Their potency to differentiate toward osteogenic and adipogenic lineage is promising to be a ready source of cells for tissue regeneration.
