FIG. 1.

Isolation of ADSCs from LAs. (A) LAs from the patient were directly (B) transferred and cultured in contact with plastic for 5 days and (C) ADSC morphology was observed during PM. The cells were stained with May-Grünwald/Giemsa solution. Red arrow presents “footprint” of adipocytes eliminated by washing. Lipid droplets from damaged adipocytes can be observed as well (greenish smears). Adipocytes and lipid droplets are totally eliminated after the first passage (magnification 100×). ADSCs, adipose-derived stromal cells; LA, lipoaspirate; PM, primary culture. Color images available online at www.liebertpub.com/scd
