Core Tip Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells are a heterogeneous cell population whose biological and therapeutic properties are strongly influenced by donor background, adipose tissue origin, and manufacturing conditions. This review summarizes source-dependent differences in proliferation, differentiation, immunomodulation, and secretome composition, and highlights key challenges in standardization and clinical translation. Emerging approaches, including single-cell profiling, multi-omics analysis, and cell-free secretome-based therapy, may improve the precision and reproducibility of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell-based regenerative strategies.
