随着干细胞研究的不断深入,人们对胚胎干细胞、骨髓干细胞等干细胞的研究取得很大成就。现由于脂肪干细胞来源丰富,便于提取,并且与骨髓干细胞均来源于中胚层,具有自我修复能力和多向分化潜能,在特定的环境条件下可以诱导脂肪干细胞向多种细胞(神经细胞、内皮细胞、平滑肌细胞、软骨细胞、心肌细胞等)分化。目前诱导脂肪肝细胞向神经细胞分化具有治疗勃起功能障碍的潜能,同时在治疗其他神经损伤方面有一定的疗效,因此脂肪干细胞向神经细胞诱导分化是值得我们进一步探索和研究的。
Great achievements in the research of embryonic stem cells and bone marrow stem cells were acquired in recent years.As adipose tissue-derived stem cells are abundant and easy to acquire,and have the ability of self-repairing and the potential of multiplex differentiation,they can be induced to differentiate into a variety of cells(nerve cells,endothelial cells,smooth muscle cells,cartilage cells,myocytes,etc.) in specific condition.Current research showed adipose tissue-derived stem cell induced differentiation into nerve cell had the potential of treating erectile dysfunction and certain curative effect on other nerve damage.So adipose tissue-derived stem cell induced differentiation into nerve cell is worth further exploration and study.
