Future Research in Adipose Stem Cell Engineering

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Adipose Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine

Abstract

Adipose stem cells have a bright prospect in regenerative medicine for tissue/organ engineering. However, some hurdles may hinder the progress of adipose stem cell engineering. Therefore this chapter highlights the advances in adipose stem cell researches, and focuses on prospective researches that are needed to overcome the hurdles in adipose stem cell engineering, i.e., to identify the various stem cells that can be isolated from adipose tissue, characterize the potentials of the various stem cells, and the underlying mechanism/pathways that are involved these potentials, to get various formulas for effective and efficient isolation, expansion and differentiation method, to develop new biomaterials and methods in tissue/organ engineering, and finally issues to be considered in designing future studies for safe, and effective animal studies and clinical trials in adipose stem cell engineering
