Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are excellent for regenerative medicine. Like mesenchymal stem cells, ADSCs possess multi-potent differentiation capacity that enables them to differentiate into osteoblasts, chondrocytes and adipocytes, as well as trans-differentiation into other cells. ADSC transplantation has gained attention in recent years, especially in vitro expanded ADSC transplantatio...

Graft versus host disease is a difficult and potentially lethal complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. It occurs with minor human leucocyte antigen (HLA) mismatch and is normally treated with corticosteroid and other immunosuppressive therapy. When it is refractory to steroid therapy, mortality approaches 80%. Mesenchymal stromal cells are rare cells found in bone marrow and o...

background: because of the ability of proliferation, regeneration, conversion to differentiated cells and tissue producing, stem cell therapy has important clinical implications for treatment of different diseases. in this chapter we discuss different kinds of stem cells that have been used in treatment of neurologic diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, heart diseases, bone disease, kidney dise...

Back Cover: In article number 2200071, Kenneth Dalgarno and co-workers describe the reactive jet impingement bioprinting system as an effective strategy to deliver high cell concentrations directly onto metal surfaces with various topographies. Mesenchymal stromal cells are bioprinted in soft hydrogel matrices that provide extracellular matrix-like environment. The cell-laden hydrogels integrat...
