Mesothelial Stem Cells And Stromal Vascular Fraction For Skin Rejuvenation

Keywords

Adipose-derived stem cells; Growth factors; Mesenchymal stem cells; Regenerative medicine; Stromal vascular fraction (SVF)

Abstract

The use of stem cells in regenerative medicine and specifically facial rejuvenation is thought provoking and controversial. Today there is increased emphasis on tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, which translates into a need for a reliable source of stem cells in addition to biomaterial scaffolds and cytokine growth factors. Adipose tissue is currently recognized as an accessible and abundant source for adult stem cells. Cellular therapies and tissue engineering are still in their infancy, and additional basic science and preclinical studies are needed before cosmetic and reconstructive surgical applications can be routinely undertaken and satisfactory levels of patient safety achieved.
