Abstract
Adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem are adult stem cells endowed with multipotent abilities and immunomodulatory properties, like mesenchymal stem cells of other origins. Numerous studies show that adipose tissue stem cells are involved in the pathological process and can exhibit pro-inflammatory properties and attract inflammatory immune cells in the neighborhood. Subsequently, inflammation creates a microenvironment leading to adipose tissue dysfunction. Examples of such a process are obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus, in which adipogenesis is disrupted and insulin resistance is initiated. The aim of this review is to understand the role of adipose tissue stem cells in the pathogenesis of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
