Isolation of Rat Adipose Tissue Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Differentiation into Insulin-producing Cells
Published on: August 29, 2022
Background:
To investigate the in vitro multi-lineage differentiation of adipose-derived adult stem cells and their ability to differentiate into endothelial cells.
Methods:
Adipose-derived adult stem cells were isolated for detection of the immune phenotype, cell doubling time, cycle, and induction of endothelial cell differentiation in vitro. The expression of endothelial cell-specific surface markers was measured immunocytochemically.
Results:
Adipose-derived adult stem cells have multi-lineage differentiation potential and can differentiate into endothelial cells in vitro.
Conclusions:
Adipose-derived adult stem cells have the same differentiation ability with those derived from the bone marrow, as both can differentiate into endothelial cells. These findings have opened up the prospect of adipose-derived adult stem cells in angiogenesis therapy.

Adult stem cells
Adult stem cells are tissue-specific; hence, they divide to develop the tissue from which they originate. One type of adult stem cell is the epithelial stem cell, which gives rise to the keratinocytes in the multiple layers of epithelial cells in the epidermis of the skin. Adult bone marrow has three distinct types of stem cells:...
