Grafts Enriched With Stem Cells From Fat Show Promise In Cosmetic Surgery

January 25, 2010: 08:30 AM EST
The use of fat grafts enriched with stem- and regenerative cells showed a doubling in retention of the cell-enriched grafts in mice, indicating potential applications in cosmetic surgery. According to the researchers, the results reinforce earlier scientific observations, as well as data from a clinical study, and support the possibility that stem cell-enriched fat grafts could someday be used successfully in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. Graft retention was improved because the fat-derived stem cells promoted cell survival and rapid angiogenesis (growth of new blood vessels) in the graft through growth factor expression that also prevents cell death.
