Tissue engineering has evolved with multifaceted research being conducted using
advanced technologies, and it is progressing toward clinical applications. As tissue …

The pace of discovery involving adipose-derived cells continues to accelerate at both the
preclinical and clinical translational levels. Adipose tissue is a source of freshly isolated …

Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) are prevalent surrounding the blood vessels and within
the connective tissue of human adipose tissue. These non–lipid-laden stromal cells can be …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) are endogenous, small RNA molecules that suppress
expression of targeted mRNA. miR-21, one of the most extensively studied miRNAs, is …

Tracking the fate and function of cells in vivo is paramount for the development of rational
therapies for cardiac injury. Bioluminescence imaging (BLI) provides a means for monitoring …

Background This study tested the hypothesis that treatment of symptomatic, partial-thickness
rotator cuff tears (sPTRCT) with fresh, uncultured, unmodified, autologous adipose-derived …

Stem cell therapies offer great potentials in the treatment for a wide range of diseases and
conditions. With so many stem cell replacement therapies going through clinical trials …

Rationale: Transplantation of stem cells into damaged hearts has had modest success as a
treatment for ischemic heart disease. One of the limitations is the poor stem cell survival in …

Adipose tissue has long been considered an energy storage and endocrine organ; however,
in recent decades, this tissue has also been considered an abundant source of …

Stem cell based-therapies are novel therapeutic strategies that hold key for developing new
treatments for diseases conditions with very few or no cures. Although there has been an …
