The present invention relates to tissues and tissue sheets assembled from adipose-derived stromal cells. Particularly, it relates to reconstructed adipose tissues which comprise adipocytes as well as reconstructed conjunctive tissues which comprise adipose-derived stromal cells. The reconstructed tissues and sheets can be used, for example, in cosmetic applications for the replacement or addition of soft tissues, in pharmacological and toxicological applications for the in vitro testing of small molecules or cosmetic products as well as in therapeutic applications for the delivery of agents. |
