Abstract (original English)

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in bone marrow (BM) play a role in the development of BM adipose tissue (BMAT). Here, we propose ways to restock the BM-MSC niche to meet the needs of BMAT in ageing, including the activation of pluripotent precursor cells, the breakdown of BM-MSC grafts and the mobilisation of extramedullary MSCs. It can be exploited to understand the BM-MSC-adipocyte axis in ageing and better target anti-ageing interventions.

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.
