TLDR Adipose tissue therapies have advanced from tissue to cell and cell-free treatments, showing promise but also limitations.
Adipose tissue has gained significant attention in regenerative medicine due to its regenerative, anti-inflammatory, and pro-angiogenic properties. The field has evolved from tissue transfer to cell transfer, and now to cell-free derivatives and bioengineering applications. This evolution aids in identifying potential therapeutic products and indications while also highlighting the limitations and future directions of adipose tissue-based therapies.
