Current status of drug therapies for osteoporosis and the search for stem cells adapted for bone regenerative medicine

A number of factors can lead to bone disorders such as osteoporosis, in which the balance of bone resorption vs. bone formation is upset (i.e., more bone is resorbed than…

Human Adipose-Derived Stromal/Stem Cells Protect Against STZ-Induced Hyperglycemia: Analysis of hASC-Derived Paracrine Effectors

Adipose-derived stromal/stem cells (ASCs) ameliorate hyperglycemia in rodent models of islet transplantation and autoimmune diabetes, yet the precise human ASC (hASC)-derived factors responsible for these effects remain largely unexplored. Here,…
