Abstract

Adipose progenitor cells have gained a lot of importance recently due to their ability to repair and regenerate injured/diseased tissues especially in the case of metabolically dysregulated conditions. Here, we describe a method to isolate and characterize adipose tissue-derived progenitor cells for their possible therapeutic use.
