“…Since ASCs are of mesodermal origin, they can differentiate into the adipogenic, osteogenic, and chondrogenic lineages, and even the myogenic lineage, leading to skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiomyocytes [41], [42], [47], [48]. Interestingly, however, ASCs have also been shown to possess the potential to differentiate into cells of the ectodermal and endodermal lineages, such as neuron-like cells, endothelial cells, epithelial cells, hepatocytes, pancreatic cells, and hematopoietic supporting cells [49], [50], [51], [52], [53], [54], [55], [56], [57].…”
