Adipose Stem Cells

Researchers led by Karin Tarte (Université de Rennes, France) recently assessed the influence of tissue of origin on the functional properties of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in a recent STEM CELLS study. Ménard et al.

A new study from the laboratories of Yan Han and Hong Li (First Medical Centre of Chinese PLA General Hospital, Beijing, People's Republic of China) recently explored the utility of Chemokine receptor 7 (CCR7) overexpression in human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) as a means to induce immune intolerance following vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA).

The interaction of cancer cells with the multitude of other cell types present within the tumor microenvironment plays a crucial role in cancer development and progression.

Trial of intra‐articular injections of autologous adipose-derived MSCs in patients with knee osteoarthritis provides proof of functional improvement and pain relief

In the hope of developing more efficient stem cell-treatments for ischemic heart diseases, researchers led by Masaaki Ii (Osaka Medical College, Japan) recently assessed the outcomes of a combinatorial strategy on the ischemic myocardium. In brief, Yokoyama et al.

A new study shows how adipose-tissue fragmentation preserves perivascular cell content and growth factor and cytokine secretion compared to enzymatic dissociation
