Abstract (original English)

"Adipose tissue is a valuable, exploitable, appealing source of regenerative cells that can be used for a variety of clinical challenges. This article reviews the history of the development of adipose-derived cell science, particularly in the context of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. It describes some of the advancements made in the field, as well as highlighting challenges and obstacles."

What this study does not prove

  • • This study does not prove SVF is an approved treatment or a replacement for standard care.
  • • This is a narrative review: it collects no new patient data and does not systematically appraise evidence quality.
