Abstract

Cell therapy with adult stem cells is a new battle front for the control of aging. Before being used for this purpose, we need to answer several basic questions about the biochemistry and physiology of these cells. This paper presents some aspects and preliminary results obtained in our laboratory using stem cells from adipose tissue.
