SVF & Adipose-derived Cells
Stromal vascular fraction, adipose-derived stem cells and how they are used in regenerative and aesthetic medicine.
Entities
Stromal Vascular Fraction
The stromal vascular fraction (SVF) is a heterogeneous mix of cells obtained from adipose tissue after removing mature fat cells; it contains stromal/stem cells, endothelial cells, pericytes and immune cells.
Adipose-derived Stem Cell
Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC) are mesenchymal stem/stromal cells isolated from fat tissue and expanded in culture; they are studied for tissue repair and are a component of the stromal vascular fraction.
Adult Stem Cell
Adult stem cells are undifferentiated cells found in developed tissues that can renew themselves and produce some of the specialized cell types of that tissue.
Adipose Tissue
Adipose tissue is body fat: a connective tissue made mostly of fat cells (adipocytes) together with blood vessels, immune cells and stromal cells.
Angiogenesis
Angiogenesis is the formation of new blood vessels; in fat grafting it determines whether transferred fat gains a blood supply and survives.
Cell Viability
Cell viability is the proportion of living, functional cells in a sample; it is a key quality measure for cell preparations such as SVF before and after processing or freezing.
SC301 SVF Research Center
The SC301 SVF Research Center is the in-house laboratory of SC301의원 that, according to the clinic, isolates SVF and analyzes the clinic's fat grafting cases.
