<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods and compositions for treating a bone condition. <P>SOLUTION: The method of enhancing the fusion of bone following a spinal fusion procedure in a mammal includes administering an isolated adipose tissue-derived adult stromal cell (ADAS) in a mammal, wherein the ADAS cell differentiates in vivo into a cell presenting at least one characteristic of a bone cell. The isolated adipose tissue-derived stromal cell and products related thereto have a variety of uses, including but not limited to research, diagnostic, and therapeutic applications such as in spinal fusion procedures. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
