Background  The possibility of using stem cells for regenerative medicine has opened a new field of investigation. The search for sources to obtain multipotent stem cells from discarded tissues or through non-invasive procedures is of great interest. It has been shown that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) obtained from umbilical cords, dental pulp and adipose tissue, which are all biological discards, are able to differentiate into muscle, fat, bone and cartilage cell lineages. The aim of this study was to isolate, expand, characterize and assess the differentiation potential of MSCs from human fallopian tubes (hFTs).    Methods  Lineages of hFTs were expanded, had their karyotype analyzed, were characterized by flow cytometry and underwent  in vitro  adipogenic, chondrogenic, osteogenic, and myogenic differentiation.    Results  Here we show for the first time that hFTs, which are discarded after some gynecological procedures, are a rich additional source of MSCs, which we designated as  human tube MSCs  (htMSCs).    Conclusion  Human tube MSCs can be easily isolated, expanded  in vitro , present a mesenchymal profile and are able to differentiate into muscle, fat, cartilage and bone  in vitro .
