Adult stem cells (ASCs) are present in all tissues in the human body. The major sources of ASCs that can be obtained from an adult human are: Bone marrow, Peripheral blood, and Adipose Tissue (Fat).

The best source to harvest ASCs from one’s body is the adipose tissue.

Below is a comparison of three sources:

• Bone marrow – About 50,000 ASCs can be harvested at any one time. These mostly become blood cells.

• Peripheral blood – About 10,000 ASCs can be harvested at any one time. 50{99bf78f0f9778281ad05ced5995f1fccf0c60e88939fe5298c3a25dc92a04653} will become blood cells and 50{99bf78f0f9778281ad05ced5995f1fccf0c60e88939fe5298c3a25dc92a04653} will become tissue cells.

• Adipose tissue (Fat) – About 100 to 200 million stem cells can be harvested at any one time, 5{99bf78f0f9778281ad05ced5995f1fccf0c60e88939fe5298c3a25dc92a04653} will become blood cells and 95{99bf78f0f9778281ad05ced5995f1fccf0c60e88939fe5298c3a25dc92a04653} will become tissue cells.

And so, even if adult stem cells (ASCs) are present in all tissues in the human body, still the major sources of ASCs that can be obtained from an adult human are: Bone marrow, Peripheral blood, and Adipose Tissue (Fat).
