Tissue-engineered bone from BMP-2-transduced stem cells derived from human fat.
Plast Reconstr Surg. 2005; (6): 1665-73
Progenitor cells capable of induction into multiple mesenchymal lineages have been isolated from human liposuction aspirates. These cells, named processed lipoaspirate cells, have previously shown in vitro osteogenic capacity. The purpose of this study was to examine the in vivo bone induction capacity of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2)-transduced processed lipoaspirate cells using adipose tissue from multiple harvest sites.
