Adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are a somatic stem cell population contained in fat tissue that may be utilized in the treatment of urologic disease. ADSCs are excellent candidates for these therapies as they are easily obtained in large quantities from adipose tissue, and possess the potential to undergo long-term proliferation, self-renewal and multipotent differentiation. We reviewed the available evidence from 1964 through 2014 concerning ADSC availability, differentiation, and potentiality in the context of treatment forurologic diseases.
