Fat-Derived Stem Cells vs Bone Marrow – ThriveMD

October 5th, 2018 3:44 am

Stromal vascular fraction was dramatically better than bone marrow concentrate in its ability to differentiate into cartilage.Two other important features were also well documented. SVF created significantlymore colony forming units than BMC, another significant predictor of healingresponse. And perhaps most importantly, SVF was dramatically better than BMC inits ability to differentiate into cartilage.

Second, arecent study byHan Chao et alhas also demonstrated that fat derived stem cells also have a higher proliferation potential for neural tissue and are a better source for not only cartilage regeneration but also for nervous system regeneration.

Adipose fat tissue provides the largest volume of adult stem cells (1,000 to 2,000 times the number of cells per volume found in bone marrow). Bone marrow provides some stem cells but more importantly provides a large volume of growth factors to aid in the repair process. In addition to adult stem cells, fat tissue also contains numerous other regenerative cells that are important to the healing process. Stem cells derived from adipose fat tissue have been shown to be a much better source for the repair of cartilage degeneration and recent studies have demonstrated its superior ability to differentiate into cartilage.

The studies gavea very comprehensive look at comparing BMC and SVF in the abilityto repair cartilage damage in a same procedure protocol. Every significantmeasurement comparing bone marrow to adipose tissue for stem cell harvesting demonstrated that adipose providedbetter cell content and superior ability to differentiate into cartilage than bone marrow. Our extensive clinical experience withthe procedureforColorado patientsclearly indicates the same.
