Research progress on osteogenic differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells / 中国实验动物学报

ABSTRACT

With the good progress of bone tissue engineering, various kinds of seed cells have emerged. Adipose derived stem cells ( ASCs) have many advantages, and become one of the hot seed cells in bone tissue engineering. This review focused on their induction method, induction process and verification method, and the donor factors and experimen-tal factors affecting the osteogenic differentiation were summarized. We also looked forward the future research interest of ASCs' osteogenic differentiation.
