The adult stem cell research focuses on the characterization, the optimization of growth conditions and the use of cells and biomaterials in bone and soft tissue engineering applications. The studies are always designed and implemented considering clinical applications. The clinical patient treatments with stem cells are currently concentrating on bone applications. In addition, in vitro -models of adipose tissue, bone, bone marrow and skeletal muscle based on human stem and precursor cells are being prepared using microfluidic chips, biomaterials, bioreactors and 3D bioprinting.
