Adipose Cell Precursors: Stem Cells in Medicine, Tissue Engineering, and Reconstructive Surgery

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Adipose tissue contains a large portion of stem cells that are primarily derived from the stromal cell fraction or from the dedifferentiation of mature (lipid filled) adipocytes. Stem cells that may give rise to adipocytes are also derived from skeletal muscle, bone, and a variety of other tissues. Knowledge of these cells may prove beneficial in cell-based therapies for tissue repair, regeneration, or engineering.
