WHAT ARE ADULT STEM CELLS
Adult Stem Cells are found throughout the body in multiple sources including bone marrow, umbilical cord blood and adipose tissue (fat). Adult Stem Cells are the body’s repair system responsible for restoring the body’s important structures, tissues and organs. Scientific interest in Adult Stem Cells from adipose tissue (fat) is focused on their ability to transform into many different cell types. Adipose (fat) Derived Adult Stem Cells are the most abundant type of Adult Stem Cells in the body. They are readily accessible and easy to collect. Adipose (fat) deposits contain vast amounts of Adult Stem Cells, which have the ability to divide, grow and transform into multiple tissues and organs within the body.
WHY ADIPOSE DERIVED ADULT STEM CELLS?
Adipose (fat) Derived Adult Stem Cells offer key advantages over Adult Stem Cells collected from other sources:
- Fat tissue contains quantities of Adult Stem Cells that are up to 1000 times greater than that of bone marrow.
- Fat is easy to access and economical to collect. Fat collection is a simple outpatient procedure that can be performed in your physician’s office.
- Generally, it is minimally invasive with a short recovery period and can be extracted in conjunction with other surgical procedures.
