Abstract

It has been shown that stromal–vascular fraction isolated from adipose tissues contains an abundance of CD34 + cells. Histological analysis of adipose tissue revealed that CD34 + cells are widely distributed among adipocytes and are predominantly associated with vascular structures. The majority of ...
