Area of Science:

  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Stem Cell Biology
  • Plastic Surgery

Background:

  • Adipose tissue is a rich source of undifferentiated stromal stem cells.
  • Optimizing adipose tissue processing can lead to long-lasting results in fat grafting.
  • Current techniques may not fully leverage the regenerative potential of adipose tissue.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and describe Cell-Assisted Lipotransfer (CAL) as a novel approach for autologous fat transplantation.
  • To detail the methods for processing adipose-derived stem cells for CAL.
  • To outline the delivery systems and clinical applications of CAL.

Main Methods:

  • Harvesting adipose tissue and isolating stromal stem cells.
  • Optimizing storage and preparation of adipose-derived stem cells.
