Isolation and hepatic differentiation of human adipose stem cells

Stem cells are unique cell populations with the ability of self-renewal as well as differentiation into multiple cell types. These remarkable properties make them attractive tools for regenerative medicine disease modeling drug discovery and drug development in general. In the last decade focus on adipose stem cells (ASCs) has been escalating dramatically because it allowing innovative stem cell-based therapy to enhance the regeneration of damaged tissues and organs. This book present comprehensive and updated data on isolation characterization and differentiation of human ASCs.
