Preserved Proliferative Capacity and Multipotency of Human Adipose-Derived Stem Cells after Long-Term Cryopreservation

Background:Human adipose-derived stem (stromal) cells are promising as a regenerative therapy tool for defective tissues of mesenchymal lineage, including fat, bone, and cartilage, and blood vessels. In potential future clinical applications, adipose-derived stem cell cryopreservation could be an in
