Abstract
Adipose-derived stromal/stem cells (ASCs) and decellularized adipose tissue (DAT) are adipose tissue products obtained from individuals undergoing fat removal procedures like liposuction, lipectomy, or breast reduction. DAT hydrogel is prepared by removing the cells from the adipose tissue and digesting it to form a liquid material that forms a gel at physiological temperature. ASCs seeded on DAT have displayed osteogenic potential in vitro and in animal models of bone defects. Herein, we describe the methods for preparing DAT hydrogel, ASC seeding in DAT hydrogel, osteogenic differentiation of ASCs, creation of critical-sized femur defect model in mice, its treatment with ASC-DAT hydrogel, and analyses.
