abstract
In 2001 stem cells were discovered in fat and lipoaspirate. These Adipose Derived Regenerative Cells (ADRCs) can develop into a range of cell types able to repair wounds and regenerate tissue. The driving force behind this phenomenon appear to be (mainly or partly ?) the different growth factors, t...
hat can also found in platelets (e.g. Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor – VEGF). As their (combined ?) presence allows for neo-vascularisation (explained in video animation) and skin regeneration on a cellular level, a whole new era for the treatment of anti-ageing is only beginning to reveal itself. Homing, the possible role of peri-cytes and the impact of the different growth factors on the process of wound healing are explained. Their extremely high potential relevance to renewed and improved clinical anti-ageing treatments is clear. The concept of ‘organic cosmetic surgery’® is introduced.
