TL;DR: The data demonstrate that both visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissues are a source of pluripotent stem cells with multigermline potential, and the visceral rather than the sub cutaneous ASC could represent a more appropriate in vitro cell model for investigating the molecular mechanisms implicated in the pathophysiology of metabolic disorders such as obesity.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that bovine collagen type I exhibits favorable effects on attachment and functional and growth activities of a human osteoblastic cell line, encouraging its use as a bone graft material.

TL;DR: A direct role of ipriflavone is suggested in modulating the synthetic and growth properties of osteoblast‐like cells, as well as the inhibitory action on bone resorption.

TL;DR: This is the first demonstration that RGZ counteracts osteoblastogenesis and induces a preferential differentiation into adipocytes in human mesenchymal stem cells.

TL;DR: The results add new evidence, using human neuronal cells, for a beneficial effect of estrogen in preventing neurodegenerative diseases and suggest for the first time that seladin-1 may mediate this effect.
