    GlossaryAdipose-Derived Stem Cells (fat stem cells)

    stem cells harvested from fat tissue for regenerative purposes

    Adipose-Derived Stem Cells (ADSCs) are stem cells that are harvested from fat tissue. These cells have the ability to differentiate into various cell types, including bone, cartilage, and muscle cells, making them valuable for regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. They are also being researched for their potential in treating conditions like alopecia, as they can promote hair growth and repair damaged hair follicles.
