Oriented differentiation of adult stem cells into vascular endothelial cells / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

Adult stem cells identified in tissue organs possess obviously plasticity. They can differentiate into the cells in other systems and germ layers, which are known to support the continuous repair and regeneration of tissues. In the vascular tissue engineering, the research was more and more widespread and deep on adult stem cells as seed cells～ Research indicated that there are many kinds of adult stem cells which can differentiate into vascular endothelial cells, such as bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, hematopoietic stem cells, human adipose derived stem cells, and amnion derived stem calls. Thus, this study reviewed the current situation of adult stem cells as seed cells in vascular tissue engineering.
