AB  - Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) are a mesenchymal stem cell source with 
      properties of self-renewal and multipotential differentiation. Compared to bone 
      marrow-derived stem cells (BMSCs), ASCs can be derived from more sources and are 
      harvested more easily. Three-dimensional (3D) tissue engineering scaffolds are 
      better able to mimic the in vivo cellular microenvironment, which benefits the 
      localization, attachment, proliferation, and differentiation of ASCs. Therefore, 
      tissue-engineered ASCs are recognized as an attractive substitute for tissue and 
      organ transplantation. In this paper, we review the characteristics of ASCs, as 
      well as the biomaterials and tissue engineering methods used to proliferate and 
      differentiate ASCs in a 3D environment. Clinical applications of 
      tissue-engineered ASCs are also discussed to reveal the potential and feasibility 
      of using tissue-engineered ASCs in regenerative medicine.
