Adult Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Tissue Engineering Versus Regenerative Medicine

Adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be isolated from bone marrow or marrow aspirates and because they are culture-dish adherent,
they can be expanded in culture while maintaining their multipotency.

Dominici 2006 ISCT Minimal criteria for defining multipotent MSCs

Biologic and clinical interest in MSC has risen dramatically over the last two decades, as shown by the ever-increasing number of research teams studying these cells.  Not only are established laboratories focusing on MSC but new investigators are rapidly being attracted to the field, which will undoubtedly accelerate scientific discovery and the development of novel cellular therapies.

Mesenchymal stem cells: environmentally responsive therapeutics for regenerative medicine

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are partially defined by their ability to differentiate into tissues including bone, cartilage and
adipose in vitro, but it is their trophic, paracrine and immunomodulatory functions that may have the greatest therapeutic
impact in vivo.

Engineering Principles of Clinical Cell-Based Tissue Engineering

Tissue engineering is a rapidly evolving discipline that seeks to repair, replace, or regenerate specific tissues or organs by translating fundamental knowledge in physics, chemistry, and biology into practical and effective materials, devices, systems, and clinical strategies.

Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma Mixed with Purified Fat Graft in Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a platelet concentrate that has widely been used to accelerate the healing of soft and hard tissues. The preparation of PRP has been described by several authors. Preparation protocols vary from system to system, depending on the concentration of different integrating proteins. The objective of this article is to describe the principal use of PRP mixed with fat grafts in aesthetic plastic surgery.

Treatment of Large Skin Necrosis Following a Modified Avelar Abdominoplasty with the Erchonia EML 635 nm Laser and Platelet-Rich Plasma

Skin necrosis of the flap and delayed wound healing are common complications of abdominoplasty surgery. A case report is presented of a patient who was treated with the 635 nm or low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Both of these modalities have been shown to accelerate wound healing and improve the appearance of the scar.
