Immunomodulatory Effects of Adipose-Derived Stem Cells

Dear Colleagues,

Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs), abundant in the human body, could be harvested with minimal invasiveness and are becoming increasingly widespread in treating various diseases. The regenerative properties of these cells are widely known. The aim of this Special Issue is to evaluate, in particular, the immunomodulatory effects of adipose stem cells. Thus, this Special Issue welcomes full papers and review articles on the 'immuno-privileged' properties of ASCs.

This Special Issue will serve as a reference text for researchers and academics, as well as those studying the ASCs properties and their potential clinical uses. Researchers working in the field of regenerative medicine and immunological related pathways are encouraged to publish their recent findings in this Special Issue of Life.
