OBJECTIVE:To review the research progress of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) compound with three dimensional (3D) printing scaffold in tissue engineering of fat, bone, cartilage, blood vessel, hepatocyte, and so on.
METHODS:The recently published literature about ADSCs compound with 3D printing scaffold in tissue engineering at home and abroad was reviewed, analyzed, and summarized.
RESULTS:A large number of basic researches showed that ADSCs could differentiate into a variety of tissues on 3D printing scaffold and involve in tissue repair and regeneration. But there is still a long way between the basic theory and the clinical practice at the early stages of development.
CONCLUSION:It can effectively improve and restore the structure and function of the damaged tissue and organ to use ADSCs and 3D printing scaffold.
