Understanding and controlling the variables for stromal vascular fraction therapy

Table 1 Therapeutic regenerative products derived from adipose tissue

Regenerative product from adipose tissue	Description	Potential applications
Adipose-derived stem cells[16,17]	Multipotent stem cells capable of differentiating into multiple cell types	Tissue engineering, cell-based therapies
Stromal vascular fraction[18]	A heterogeneous cell population, including adipose-derived stem cells and other cell types	Wound healing, tissue repair, regenerative treatments
Extracellular vesicles[19]	Vesicles contain bioactive molecules like proteins and nucleic acids	Angiogenesis, immunomodulation, tissue healing
Adipokines[20]	Hormones and signaling molecules secreted by adipose tissue	Regulation of appetite, insulin sensitivity, inflammation, and lipid metabolism
ECM scaffolds[21]	Decellularized scaffolds maintain adipose tissue’s structural components	Tissue engineering, support for tissue regeneration
Microfat and nanofat[22]	Adipose tissue forms rich in regenerative cells and growth factors	Soft tissue augmentation, wound healing, tissue repair
