About this book

During the past decade, a wide range of scientific disciplines have adopted the use of adipose-derived stem/stromal cells (ASCs) as an important tool for research and discovery. In Adipose-Derived Stem Cells: Methods and Protocols, experts from the field, including members of the esteemed International Federation of Adipose Therapeutics and Science (IFATS), provide defined and established protocols in order to further codify the utilization of these powerful and accessible cells. With chapters organized around approaches spanning the discovery, pre-clinical, and clinical processes, much of the emphasis is placed on human ASC, while additional techniques involving small and large animal species are included. As a volume in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology™ series, the detailed contributions include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Comprehensive and cutting-edge, Adipose-Derived Stem Cells: Methods and Protocols serves as a vital reference text for experienced researchers as well as new students on the path to further exploring the incredible potential of ASCs.

Reviews

From the reviews:

“This book is pleasing the reader … . Clear enough, the statistics is impressive … . I am quite sure that the reader, after reading this unique and invaluable book, will easily share my idea that the ASC acronym, stending for Adipose-derived Stem/Stromal Cells and describing the collagenase-digested and culture-expanded adipose cell populations, will for sure appear more and more in the ISI statistics.” (Carlo Alberto Redi, European Journal of Histochemistry, Vol. 55, 2011)
