METHOD FOR INDUCING MIGRATION OF ADULT STEM CELLS DERIVED FROM ADIPOSE TISSUE

摘要

The present invention relates to cell migration capacity of adult stem cells derived from adipose tissue, and more specifically, to treatment of adipose-derived, adult stem cells with cellular protein secretions. In particular, the present invention is a new use for adipose stem cells, whereby pretreatment of adipose-derived, adult stem cells with a specific chemokine or growth factor induces a more effective migration to diseased parts of the body. Adipose-derived adult stem cells, pretreated with specific chemokine or growth factor may be intravenously administered as a simple way to target stem cells (targetting) to the site of the disease and represents potential for cell therapy.
