Adipose Stem Cells Outperform Bone Marrow Stem Cells according to STEM CELL

New evidence suggests that the type of stem cell you use in your regenerative therapy plays an important role. Researchers from the Université de Rennes found significant differences in the functional properties and capabilities of adipose derived stem cells versus those of bone marrow derived stem cells.

This study was the first of its kind, as previous studies compared bone marrow stem cells and adipose stem cells from different donors, this study looked at the cells from the same donors.

“In particular, adipose derived stem cells exhibited an immune profile consistent with a stronger inhibition of T-cell and myeloid cell immune response and a lower immunogenicity,” Dr. Karin Tarte, Pharm D, PhD said. “This study supports the need to select therapeutic mesenchymal stem cells by tissue origin functionality.”
