Research Abstract |
We isolated dedifferentiated fat (DFAT) cells using the ceiling culture method from rabbit subcutaneous fat. DFAT cells were seeded into titanium fiber mesh (TFM) and cultured in an osteogenic medium for 14 days. In scanning electron microscopic analysis, the number of DFAT cells increased, and a calcified matrix was observed around the fibers of TFM. The osteocalcin and calcium content in the TFM were significantly higher on day 14 compared to other time points. It was suggested that DFAT cells differentiated into osteoblasts in TFM. The combination of DFAT cells and TFM may be a useful option for bone tissue engineering.
