One of the major challenges in cell implantation therapies is to promote integration of the microcirculation between the implanted cells and the host. We used adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cells to vascularize a human liver cell (HepG2) implant. We hypothesized that the SVF cells would form a functional microcirculation via vascular assembly and inosculation with the host vasc...

Abstract Background Lipofilling has become popular as a treatment to improve aging-related skin characteristics (eg, wrinkles, pigmentation spots, pores, or rosacea). Different additives such platelet-rich plasma (PRP) stromal vascular fraction (SVF) have been combined with lipofilling increase the therapeutic effect of adipose-derived cells (ASCs). Objectives The aim this study was examine hyp...

background: differentiation, migratory properties and availability of mesenchymal stromal cells (msc) have become an important part of biomedical research. however, the functional heterogeneity of cells derived from different tissues has hampered providing definitive phenotypic markers for these cells. objective: to characterize and compare the phenotype and cytokines of adipose derived mscs (a...

MaterialS and MethodS: Adults undergoing liposuction on bilateral body areas were included (n=12). Under sedation, liposuction on one side was conducted with standard tumescent (1L of LR with 30ml of 1% lidocaine and 1 mcg/ml epinephrine). Tumescent without lidocaine was infiltrated on the contralateral side. Five milliliter lipoaspirate samples were processed for isolation of the stromal vascu...

Endometrial dysfunction affects approximately 1% of infertile women, and there is currently no standard therapy for improving fertility treatment outcomes in these patients. In our study, we utilized a rodent model of thin endometrium to test whether intrauterine application of adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction cells (SVF) could improve morphological and physiological markers of endomet...

Although mesenchymal stem cells are used in numerous clinical trials, the safety of their application is still a matter of concern. We have analysed the clinical results of the autologous adipose-derived stem cell treatment (stromal vascular fraction (SVF) containing adipose-derived stem cells, endothelial progenitors, and blood mononuclear cells) for orthopedic (cartilage, bone, tendon, or com...
