Adipose-derived Stem Cell

Also known as: ADSC, ASC, adipose-derived stromal cell, 지방유래 줄기세포

Definition

Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC) are mesenchymal stem/stromal cells isolated from fat tissue and expanded in culture; they are studied for tissue repair and are a component of the stromal vascular fraction.

Key facts

PredicateValueSource
Cell classMesenchymal stem/stromal cell (adult, multipotent)[1]
Relation to SVFADSC are a minority population within SVF and are typically culture-expanded to obtain a purer product[2]

Overview

ADSC (also called adipose-derived stromal cells) are obtained by processing fat tissue, typically enzymatic digestion followed by culture. In most jurisdictions, culture-expanded ADSC are regulated as biological products and require approval or a clinical trial framework. They differ from freshly isolated SVF, which is not expanded in culture.
