Local Application of Isogenic Adipose-Derived Stem Cells Restores Bone Healing Capacity in a Type 2 Diabetes Model

This study showed that stem cells obtained from fat pads of type 2 diabetic mice are capable of reconstituting impaired bone regeneration in type 2 diabetes. These multipotent stem cells promote both angiogenesis and osteogenesis in type 2 diabetic bony defects. These data might prove to have great clinical implications for bony defects in the ever-increasing type 2 diabetic patient population.
