Bone Abstracts

Human adipose-derived stromal cells (ASCs) exhibit strong plasticity and proliferation potentials. In addition, ASCs are easy to harvest and are found at high frequency in adipose tissue samples. This gives us opportunities for their use in bone regeneration therapy. We thus evaluated the bone formation potential of ASCs in vitro and in vivo.ASCs were isolated from subcutaneous adipose tissue (following Local Ethical Guideline and after...
