Сharacteristics of human mesenchymal stem cells of adipose tissue and fibroblasts for using in reconstructive surgery
The paper presents the results of comparative studies of morphological, phenotypic and immunological characteristics of cultures of mesenchymal stem cells from adipose tissue and human fibroblasts derived from different sources. It was found that a high proliferative potential, expressed migratory ability, morphological and phenotypic similarity with cultures of fibroblasts, unique immunomodulatory properties and versatile technique for separation of adipose tissue shows the advantages of using mesenchymal stem cells in reconstructive surgery.
