Human adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells (hASCs) were isolated from lipoaspirates of young healthy donors undergoing aesthetic surgery (from 18 to 35 years-old), following written informed consent and Research Ethical Board approval by Clinica Isabel Moreno and Hospital General Foundation, Valencia, Spain. Donors were previously screened for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), hepatitis C and other infectious diseases. hASCs were expanded following the protocol described by Escobedo-Lucea et al. [32] and harvested with Tryple® (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, NM, USA) at 85% confluence.
