ApplicationADSC sourceAdministration routeAnimal modelResults

Arrigoni et al. [58]BoneRabbitSurgical implantationRabbitBone formation with the ADSC was demonstrated by a significant increase in bone content
Chen et al. [48]BoneHumanSurgical implantationMiceOverexpression of miR-375 significantly enhanced ADSC osteogenesis both in vitro and in vivo

(ii) Surgical implantation
RatADSCs showed a better inflammation-modulating property
RabbitADSCs with scaffold promoted cartilage regeneration in the long term
Cho et al. [49]Cartilageā€”Surgical implantationRabbitThe quality of regenerative cartilage significantly improved in the ADSC group
Huurne et al. [101]CartilageMouseInjectionMiceThe ADSC-based treatment could inhibit synovial thickening, the formation of enthesophytes associated with ligaments, and cartilage destruction
Yin et al. [107]CartilageRabbitSurgical implantationRabbitADSCs containing the TGF immobilized scaffold better-promoted cartilage regeneration in defective articular cartilage

Kingham et al. [114]NerveHumanSurgical implantationRatBoth ADSCs and stimulated-ADSCs could promote axon regeneration
Li et al. [116]NerveRatInjectionRatADSCs alleviated neurological deficits and reduced brain water content in rats
Durco et al. [132]NerveHumanSurgical implantationMiceThe number of nerve fibers and motor plates was higher in the ADSC group
Nagata et al. [134]MyocardiumMiceTransfusionMiceThe transfusion of ADSCs exhibited the highest cardiac functional recovery and the high frequency of the recruitment to ischemic myocardium
Bobi et al. [140]MyocardiumPigInjectionPigMyocardial perfusion at the anterior infarct border increased in ADSC-treated animals
Mori et al. [141]MyocardiumHumanSurgical implantationPorcineLeft ventricular remodeling attenuated and vascular density increased in the infarct border area in the ADSC group
Qiao et al. [145]MyocardiumRatInjectionRatADSC and dECM groups could increase angiogenesis, reduce the degree of fibrosis, and decrease infarct size
Ge et al. [151]LiverPigInjectionPigAST, ALT, T-BIL, and LDH were significantly decreased in ADSC treatment
Jiao et al. [152]LiverPigInjectionPigADSC transplantation ameliorated the IRI-induced histopathological damage
Zhang et al. [153]LiverPigInjectionPigADSC group promoted liver function recovery, reduced oxidative stress, and promoted liver regeneration
Yan et al. [154]LiverCanineInjectionCanineAST and ALT were rapidly decreased in ADSC treatment
Nishiwaki et al. [162]SkinMiceSurgical implantationMiceADSCs contributed to wound healing in a dorsal skin defect model in diabetic mice
Xiong et al. [165]SkinHumanInjectionMiceADSCs significantly accelerated the healing of skin wounds by promoting cell proliferation
Chou et al. [169]SkinRatInjectionRatThe wound treated with ADM-ADSCs showed a significantly higher wound healing rate than other groups
Yu et al. [172]SkinHumanSurgical implantationMiceThe neoskin formed in the presence of ADSC exhibited a thickness comparable to normal skin and possessed a highly organized collagen structure
