Cytotherapy 

TL;DR: The Mesenchymal and Tissue Stem Cell Committee of the International Society for Cellular Therapy proposes minimal criteria to define human MSC, believing this minimal set of standard criteria will foster a more uniform characterization of MSC and facilitate the exchange of data among investigators.

TL;DR: The mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) as mentioned in this paper have been proposed as a more scientifically correct nomenclature for the fibroblast-like cells, regardless of the tissue from which they are isolated.

TL;DR: The goal of this paper is to provide initial guidance for the scientific community working with adipose-derived cells and to facilitate development of international standards based on reproducible parameters.

TL;DR: Adipose tissue is an abundant, accessible, and replenishable source of adult stem cells that can be isolated from liposuction waste tissue by collagenase digestion and differential centrifugation, and these ADAS cells have potential applications for the repair and regeneration of acute and chronically damaged tissues.

TL;DR: The ability to isolate a consistently homogeneous population of undifferentiated adult stem cells from adipose tissue of multiple donors supports their potential utility in future tissue-engineering applications.
