An alternative source of pluripotential cells is the adipose compartment. These cells are phenotypically similar to marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells and also have a similar functional capability. However, unlike cells from the bone marrow, cells from adipose are plentiful and be used without cell culture. Furthermore, they are extracted with a population of heterogeneous cells that contain several other cell types. In summary, adipose tissue is a robust source of pluripotential cells that may have significant clinical utility.
