For the first time, stem cells purified from fat have been used to heal an injury in a living animal. Michael Longaker of Stanford University in California and his team showed in mouse experiments that so-called adipose derived adult stromal (ADAS) cells purified from a rodent’s belly fat could be coaxed to heal a skull fracture too large to mend by itself.
The power of ADAS cells to transform into bone, cartilage and even neurons has been studied for years in test tubes. But Jeffrey Gimble, who studies human ADAS cells at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge says Longaker’s report is an important step forward. "Actually repairing a defect in an animal model had never been done. This is an excellent study." If the same technique works in humans, these cells could be coaxed to mend broken bones and correct other defects in tens of thousands of surgical procedures each year in whic
A. his work made an unprecedented achievement in the field
B. he proved that ADAS cells contributed a lot to cell therapy
C. his work paved way for ADAS cell application in clinical trials
D. he cured an animal defect that had never been repaired before
