Summary
Adipose tissue, obtained via liposuction, offers valuable fat grafts and stem cells for plastic surgery and regenerative medicine. These applications aid in reconstructive procedures and tissue repair, showcasing adipose tissue
Area of Science:
- Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
- Regenerative Medicine
- Tissue Engineering
Background:
- Adipose tissue serves as an energy reservoir and endocrine organ.
- Liposuction, initially for contouring, yields autologous fat grafts and stem cells.
- Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) possess regenerative potential.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the literature on adipose tissue applications in plastic and reconstructive surgery.
- To highlight the roles of liposuction, lipofilling, and ASCs.
- To detail indications, procedures, and complications.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of publications on liposuction, lipofilling, and ASCs.
Main Results:
- Liposuction enables diverse clinical uses of adipose tissue.
- Lipofilling utilizes adipose tissue's filling capabilities.
- ASCs' regenerative properties drive research in clinical applications.
Conclusions:
- Adipose tissue is a vital source of stem cells for regenerative medicine.
- ASCs show promising results in tissue engineering and repair.
- Future applications in regenerative medicine are anticipated.

Certain organic substances change color in dilute solution when the hydronium ion concentration reaches a particular value. For example, phenolphthalein is a colorless substance in any aqueous solution with a hydronium ion concentration greater than 5.0 × 10−9 M (pH < 8.3). In more basic solutions where the hydronium ion concentration is less than 5.0 × 10−9 M (pH > 8.3), it is red or pink. Substances such as phenolphthalein, which can be used to determine the pH of a solution, are...

33.4K
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that divide and produce more stem cells or progenitor cells that differentiate into mature, specialized cell types. All the cells in the body are generated from stem cells in the early embryo, but small populations of stem cells are also present in many adult tissues including the bone marrow, brain, skin, and gut. These adult stem cells typically produce the various cell types found in that tissue—to replace cells that are damaged or to continuously...

Embryonic stem (ES) cells are undifferentiated pluripotent cells, meaning they can produce any cell type in the body. This gives them tremendous potential in science and medicine since they can generate specific cell types for use in research or to replace body cells lost due to damage or disease.

Embryonic stem (ES) cells were first discovered in mice in 1981 by Martin Evans. In 1998, James Thomson identified a method to isolate embryonic stem cells from humans. Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are obtained from 3-5 day old embryos that remain unused after an in vitro fertilization procedure.
ES cells are grown in a culture medium where they can divide indefinitely, creating ES cell lines. Under certain conditions, ES cells can differentiate, either spontaneously into a variety of...

Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that divide and produce different types of cells. Ordinarily, cells that have differentiated into a specific cell type are post-mitotic—that is, they no longer divide. However, scientists have found a way to reprogram these mature cells so that they “de-differentiate” and return to an unspecialized, proliferative state. These cells are also pluripotent like embryonic stem cells—able to produce all cell types—and are therefore...

2.7K
Mechanical ventilation is a life-saving technique for managing acute respiratory failure and other respiratory complications. The process involves using a machine known as a ventilator to supply oxygen to the lungs and assist in removing carbon dioxide. It serves as a bridge to long-term mechanical ventilation or a temporary measure until ventilatory support is discontinued. The ventilator can maintain this function for a prolonged period, providing critical support for patients until they can...
