Regenerative medicine and tissue engineering have the aim of restoring function due to tissue damage or organ failure. This goal can be achieved either by stimulating endogenous stem cells or by providing exogenous stem cells along with growth factors. Among the different sources and types of stem cells, particular attention has been given to adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (ADSCs).
