TLDR Adipose-derived stem cells show promise in treatments but need more research for safety, especially in cancer.
Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) were explored for their potential in medical treatments due to their ability to differentiate into various cell types and secrete growth factors. They were easier to harvest and yielded more cells than bone marrow-derived stem cells, showing promise in tissue engineering, wound healing, bone regeneration, and hair growth. However, the review highlighted uncertainties regarding their safety and effectiveness, particularly in cancer treatment, as ADSCs could both inhibit and promote tumor growth through growth factor secretion. Conflicting study results and the complexity of ADSCs' interactions with cancer cells underscored the need for further research to ensure safe therapeutic applications.
