Abstract

Adipose tissue is as an abundant and accessible source of stem cells with multipotent properties suitable for tissue engineering and regenerative medical applications. Rhesus monkeys are physiologically and phylogenetically similar to humans, and they and their cells are valuable for biomedical research and evaluation of preclinical therapies. Here, we describe methods for the isolation, culture, and differentiation of rhesus adipose-derived stem cells (rASCs).
