Clonal analysis of the differentiation potential of human adipose‐derived adult stem cells

Pools of human adipose‐derived adult stem ( h ADAS) cells can exhibit multiple differentiated phenotypes under appropriate in vitro culture conditions. Because adipose tissue is abundant and easily accessible, h ADAS cells offer a promising source of cells for tissue engineering and other cell‐based therapies. However, it is unclear whether individual h ADAS cells can give rise to multiple differentiated phenotypes or whether each phenotype...
