Skin Tissue Engineering: Application of Adipose-Derived Stem Cells

Figure 2

Examples of clinical application of autologous fat and adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs). Freshly isolated lipoaspirate is processed to obtain a fat graft. This can be applied to patients suffering, for example, from facial asymmetry, radiated defects, or traumatic wounds. The fat graft can be further enriched by adding freshly isolated SVF or cultured adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs).
