Preface During the past decade, a wide range of scientific disciplines have “found” adipose-derived stem/stromal cells (ASC) as a tool for research and discovery. This is reflected by the exponential growth in the number of publications and citations noted by ISI Web of Science (Thomson-Reuters) (Fig. 1). However, the cells we now recognize as “ASC” were initially identified as “preadipocytes” in seminal studies initiated by Martin Rodbell and his colleagues during the mid-1960s. His laboratory was among the first to use collagenase digestion to separate mature adipocytes from the heterogeneous stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cells in rat fat pads. Since then, primary cu
