Endothelial Differentiated Adipose-Derived Stem Cells Improvement of Survival and Neovascularization in Fat Transplantation.

Background: Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) assisted lipotransfer have been considered to facilitate the survival of fat grafts. However, emerging evidence of insufficient vascularization is another obstacle for fat graft survival in cell-assisted lipotransfer.

Objectives: This study evaluated if endothelial phenotype ASCs with fat lipoaspirate improves survival and neovascularization in fat transplantation.

Human adipose-derived stem cell treatment modulates cellular protection in both in vitro and in vivo traumatic brain injury models.

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in the civilian population. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect(s) of adipose-derived stem cell (ASC) treatment on cellular and functional recovery in TBI via both in vitro and in vivo methods.

Methods: Cultured neuroblastoma cells, SH-SY5Y, were scratched to mimic TBI in an in vitro model.

Evaluation of function and recovery of adipose-derived stem cells after exposure to paclitaxel.

Background Aims: Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) are considered to play a positive role in wound healing as evidenced by their increasing use in breast reconstructive procedures. After chemotherapy for breast cancer, poor soft tissue wound healing is a major problem. In the present study, the functional capabilities and recovery of ASCs after exposure to chemotherapeutic agent paclitaxel (PTX) using in vitro and ex vivo models were demonstrated.
