In vitro osteogenic potential of canine adipose derived stem cells.

Stem cells based tissue engineering is a promising approach for the regenerative treatment of various tissue disorders. Adipose tissue is an abundant source of cells which are competent of multipotential differentiation, called adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs). The present study was contemplated with the objective of assessing the osteogenic differentiation potential of the canine ADSCs in vitro.
