Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) hold great potential for regenerative medicine and tissue-
engineering applications. They have multipotent differentiation capabilities and have been …

Over the last decade, bone engineered tissues have been developed as alternatives to
autografts and allografts to repair and reconstruct bone defects. This article provides a …

Adipose-derived adult stem cells (ASCs) have the ability to differentiate into a chondrogenic
phenotype in response to specific environmental signals such as growth factors or artificial …

Objectives: Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) and bone marrow–derived mesenchymal
stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent adult stem cells with potential for use in cartilage tissue …

Orthopaedic tissues, such as bone, cartilage, intervertebral disc and tendon, contain cells
that are difficult to culture and stimulate in vitro for repair of damaged tissue. Stem cells have …

The ability of bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and adipose-derived
stem cells (ASCs) to undergo chondrogenic differentiation has been studied extensively …

A cross-linking reagent is required to improve mechanical strength and degradation
properties of biopolymers for tissue engineering. To find the optimal preparative method, we …

In mammals, the two main types of adipose tissues, white and brown adipose tissues, exert
different physiological functions. White adipose tissue (WAT) is for storing energy, while …

Adipose tissue is derived from the mesoderm during embryonic development and is present
in every mammalian species, located throughout the body. Adipose tissue serves as an …

Articular cartilage is easily injured but difficult to repair and cell therapies are proposed as
tools to regenerate the defects in the tissue. Both differentiated chondrocytes and adult …
