A broader understanding was sought regarding the influence of specific adipose tissue depots on the isolated adipose‐derived stem cell (ASC) populations through a systematic comparison of donor‐matched abdominal subcutaneous fat and omentum, and donor‐matched pericardial adipose tissue and thymic remnant samples. Results suggest that depot selection is an important factor to consider when applying ASCs in tissue‐specific cell‐based regenerative therapies, and also highlight pericardial adipose tissue as a potential new ASC source.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
