    The article reports on the results of a study conducted by Jin Soo Lim of the Catholic University of Korea, Seoul and colleagues on the development of a tissue-engineered filler with the use of adipose stem cells (ASC) and micronized acellular dermal matrix (Alloderm). The study shows that the...

  • Programming human pluripotent stem cells into white and brown adipocytes. Ahfeldt, Tim; Schinzel, Robert T.; Lee, Youn-Kyoung; Hendrickson, David; Kaplan, Adam; Lum, David H.; Camahort, Raymond; Xia, Fang; Shay, Jennifer; Rhee, Eugene P.; Clish, Clary B.; Deo, Rahul C.; Shen, Tony; Lau, Frank H.; Cowley, Alicia; Mowrer, Greg; Al-Siddiqi, Heba; Nahrendorf, Matthias; Musunuru, Kiran; Gerszten, Robert E. // Nature Cell Biology;Feb2012, Vol. 14 Issue 2, p209 

    The utility of human pluripotent stem cells is dependent on efficient differentiation protocols that convert these cells into relevant adult cell types. Here we report the robust and efficient differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells into white or brown adipocytes. We found that inducible...
