Combining Adipose-Derived Stem Cells, Resorbable Scaffolds and Growth Factors: An Overview of Tissue Engineering


Combining Adipose-Derived Stem Cells, Resorbable Scaffolds and Growth Factors: An Overview of Tissue Engineering FULL TEXT • George K.B. Sándor, MD, DDS, PhD, FRCDC, FRCSC, FACS • • Riitta Suuronen, MD, DDS, PhD • A b s t r a c t Interdependency exists between adipogenesis, the formation of fat tissue from stem cells, and osteogenesis, the formation of bone from its stem-cell precursors. Adipose-derived adult mesenchymal stem cells may be useful for future bone regeneration and tissue engineering. This review discusses potential future relationships between autogenous adipose-derived stem cells, growth factors and resorbable scaffolds for future tissue-engineering applications.
