Abstract:Stem cells are undifferentiated cells presenting extensive self-renewal features and the ability to differentiate “in vitro” and “in vivo” into a range of lineage cells, like chondrogenic, osteogenic and adipogenic lineages when cultured in specific inducing media. Two major domains of clinical applications of stem cells in thoracic surgery have been investigated: regenerative medicine, which is a section of translational research in tissue engineering focusing on the replacement, renewal or regeneration of ce… Show more
