Abstract

Tissue regeneration using human adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells (hASCs) has significant potential as a novel treatment for many degenerative bone and joint diseases. Previous studies have established that age negatively affects the proliferation status and the osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation potential of mesenchymal stem cells. The aim of this study was to assess the age‐related maintenance of physiological function and differentiation potential of hASCs in vitro. hASCs were isolated from patients of four different age groups: (1) >20 years ( n = 7), (2) >50 years ( n = 7), (3) >60 years ( n = 7), and (4) >70 years ( n = 7). The hASCs were characterized according to the number of fibroblasts colony forming unit (CFU‐F), proliferation rate, population doubling time (PDT), and quantified parameters of adipogenic, chondrogenic, and osteogenic differentiation. Compared to younger cells, aged hASCs had decreased proliferation rates, decreased chondrogenic and osteogenic potential, and increased senescent features. A shift in favor of adipogenic differentiation with increased age was also observed. As many bone and joint diseases increase in prevalence with age, it is important to consider the negative influence of age on hASCs viability, proliferation status, and multilineage differentiation potential when considering the potential therapeutic applications of hASCs.

  • MSCs derived from older individuals or those with underlying health conditions, such as HBV infection, may exhibit impaired proliferative, differentiation, and regenerative capacities, leading to ineffective treatments or unfavorable clinical outcomes.

    “MSCs derived from older individuals or those with underlying health conditions, such as HBV infection, may exhibit impaired proliferative, differentiation, and regenerative capacities, leading to ineffective treatments or unfavorable clinical outcomes [315, 316].”

    From Mechanisms, efficacy, and future perspectives of cellular-based therapies for liver fibrosis/cirrhosis: focusing on mesenchymal stromal cells (2025) · cites this paper as [315]

    The Results (§3.1) report lower proliferation in adipose-derived MSCs from older donors, and the Discussion (§5) reports reduced osteogenic and chondrogenic potential and a possible limitation for therapeutic use. The paper does not examine HBV infection or demonstrate ineffective treatments or unfavorable clinical outcomes; its clinical implications are prospective. Page numbers were not supplied in our copy.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
