Research Abstract	To reconstruct the transformation and defect for the respiratory tract by self-organizing, We used Cell analyzer for human adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) obtained from a human subcutaneous fatty tissue as fundamental researches, and we induced the analysis of the cell surface marker and differentiation. As a result, it was confirmed that human ASCs resembled the character of mesenchymal stem cells, and possibility of the differentiation to fat cells and cartilage cells was suggested by differentiation instruction of human ASCs.
