Directed differentiation of stem cells that are isolated from the adipose tissue

Abstract

The authors have carried out an experimental study for the purpose of determining a possibility of differentiating stem cells that are isolated from the adipose tissue according to the adipogenic orientation. The results of the research were indicative of the fact that the cells isolated from the adipose tissue are of specific differentiation, namely, an osteogenic, chondrogenic and, above all, adipogenic orientation that is an evidence of the multipotency of the stem mesenchymal cells of the adipose tissue. The adipose tissue is an alternative source to the bone marrow of multipotent mesenchymal stem cells that can be used as a protection of transplanted autologous adipose tissue from resorption by lipofilling.
