Abstract

Received: March 05, 2019; Accepted: March 18, 2019; Published: March 20, 2019 Adipose derived stem cells (ASCs) are derived from mesenchyme and have several general or unique characteristics. In order to be recognized as a mesenchymal stem cells, the following three criteria shall be satisfied. MSC must be plastic-adherent in standard culture conditions. The cells must be able to differentiate into trilineage mesenchymal differentiation pathways. ASCs must have a specific cell surface antigen expression.
