Role of adipose-derived stem cells in fat grafting and reconstructive surgery

Abstract: Autologous fat grafting is commonly utilised to reconstruct soft tissue defects caused by ageing, trauma, chronic wounds and cancer resection. The benefits of fat grafting are minimal donor site morbidity and ease of availability through liposuction or lipectomy. Nonetheless, survival and longevity of fat grafts remain poor post-engraftment. Various methods to enhance fat graft survival are currently under investigation and its stem cell constituents are of particular interest. Cell-assisted lipotransfer refer… Show more

“…Therefore, the addition of HASCs to lipoaspirate may prevent graft volume loss and enhance blood vessel generation in the grafts. This hypothesis has been confirmed in previous clinical trials (46). However, the use of autologous HASCs has not been Food and Drug Administration-approved; this may be due to the fact that the reconstructive mechanism of HASCs remains to be fully elucidated.…”

“…Mesenchymal stem cells are of particular interest to the field of regenerative medicine due to their wide array of therapeutic benefits [ 31 36 ]. The majority of published research has utilized ASCs isolated from either adipose tissue biopsies of abdominal tissue or from lipoaspirate collected during liposuction procedures [ 37 39 ]. Human lipoaspirate is also currently used for adipose tissue reconstruction procedure; the reparative effect of lipoaspirate is currently attributed to the ASCs present within the heterogeneous mixture of cells [ 40 43 ].…”

“…With the overall survival rates increasing, more and more patients select breast reconstruction as a way to reduce the disabling effects of the mutilation . Autologous fat graft has been used as a filler for breast reconstruction in breast cancer patients following conservative surgery . That is partly because the ADSCs in adipose tissues (about 10 5 ADSCs per gram adipose tissue) can secrete numerous cytokines to benefit the proliferation and angiogenesis of the graft which make it a better graft than other materials .…”
