The present invention provides adipose-derived stem cells and lattices. In one aspect, the present invention provides a lipo-derived stem cell substantially free of adipocytes and red blood cells and clonal populations of connective tissue stem cells. The invention also provides a method of isolating stem cells from adipose tissues. The cells can be employed, alone or within biologically-compatible compositions, to generate differentiated tissues and structures, both in vivo and in vitro. Additionally, the cells can be expanded and cultured to produce hormones and to provide conditioned culture media for supporting the growth and expansion of other cell populations. In another aspect, the present invention provides a lipo-derived lattice substantially devoid of cells, which includes extracellular matrix material from adipose tissue. The lattice can be used as a substrate to facilitate the growth and differentiation of cells, whether in vivo or in vitro, into anlagen or even mature tissues or structures.
本发明提供脂肪衍生干细胞和晶格。一方面,本发明提供了基本上不含脂肪细胞和红细胞的脂肪衍生干细胞和结缔组织干细胞克隆群体。本发明还提供了一种从脂肪组织中分离干细胞的方法。细胞可单独或在生物相容性组合物中使用,在体内和体外生成分化的组织和结构。此外,还可对细胞进行扩增和培养,以产生激素,并提供条件培养基,支持其他细胞群的生长和扩增。另一方面,本发明提供了一种基本不含细胞的脂质衍生晶格,其中包括来自脂肪组织的细胞外基质材料。该晶格可用作基质,以促进细胞的生长和分化,无论是体内还是体外,使其成为原生细胞,甚至成熟的组织或结构。
