Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-mediated tissue engineering represents a promising strategy to address adipose tissue defects. MSCs derived from Wharton’s jelly of the umbilical cord (WJCMSCs) may serve a
With accelerating rates of obesity and type 2 diabetes world-wide, interest in studying the adipocyte and adipose tissue is increasing. Human adipose derived stem cells - differentiated to adipocytes
Tumors acquire an increased ability to obtain and metabolize nutrients. Here, we engineered adipocytes to outcompete tumors for nutrients and show that they can substantially reduce cancer progression
