Abstract

Adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are an orthobiologic that is derived from adipose tissue, allowing use in both allogeneic and autologous applications. This chapter covers the isolation and expansion of adipose MSCs and the mechanisms of action that make adipose MSCs an attractive orthobiologic. The requirements for in vitro trilineage differentiation are described, and the evidence of in vivo cartilage and bone regeneration by adipose MSCs is evaluated. Furthermore, the mechanisms behind chondroinduction are provided. Finally, the processes contributing to the immunomodulatory effects of adipose MSCs are described. To date, osteoconduction, chondroinduction, and immunomodulation seem to be the most essential processes for this orthobiologic. The importance of other processes might be elucidated through future research, and the behavior of MSCs in vivo remains largely unknown.
