Potentialities of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells collected from liposuction for use in cellular therapy

Abstract

The increased use of stem cells in the last decade has taken place for two main reasons. Firstly, it was discovered that more sources of stem cells exist besides those from the bone marrow and, secondly, that these cells have been studied for the treatment of other diseases and not only for hematopoietic disease, through the use of bone marrow transplants.
