Adipose stem cells in tissue regeneration and repair: From bench to bedside

Lei Dong, Xiaoyu Li, Wenyuan Leng, Zhenke Guo, Tianyu Cai, Xing Ji, Chunru Xu, Zhenpeng Zhu, Jian Lin

Summary: ADSCs are a type of mesenchymal stem cells found in adipose tissue, with the potential to differentiate into various tissues. They offer advantages such as abundant quantity, easy accessibility, stable function, and low immune rejection. Two main methods for tissue repair and regeneration using ADSCs include implanting ADSCs-scaffold composites and utilizing ADSC-exos or ADSC-CM to release bioactive substances. The tissue regeneration potential and differentiation of ADSCs are regulated by various factors, and further research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms.
