A Comparative Overview of Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) Isolation and Characterization Studies Using Mechanical Dissociation and CollagenaseMonday, 21 April 2014 at 11:45 Add to Calendar ▼2014-04-21 11:45:002014-04-21 12:45:00Europe/LondonA Comparative Overview of Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) Isolation and Characterization Studies Using Mechanical Dissociation and CollagenaseClinical Translation of Stem Cells 2014 in Palm Springs, California, USAPalm Springs, California, USASELECTBIOenquiries@selectbiosciences.com Adipose tissue represents a versatile and abundant source of adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). The role of the physician in serving as chief procurement practitioner for adipose derived stem cells (ADSC) requires improving efficiencies such as procedural times from harvesting to deployment while minimizing costs and maintaining a high standard of care. This is critical for any regenerative center which strives to remain “profitable” and still yield an adequate amount of viable ADRC’s with minimal effort and costs in a point of care model. To date there are several methods and devices that attempt to address these concerns, however, many of these methods and devices have overlooked using cells released into the aspirate via mechanical dissociation during tumescent liposuction. In this talk I will review and compare recent published and independent studies which have looked into quantifying and characterizing these cells and equating them to what can be normally yielded by a standard collagenase process. |
