Adipose tissue-derived stem cell autologous grafts: a new approach to application in the treatment of burn victims and reconstructive plastic surgery

Direct reuse of electronic plastic scraps from computer monitor and keyboard to direct stem cell growth and differentiation

“…The identity, chemical composition, surface properties of the E-plastics were systematically investigated. Our proof-of-concept studies revealed that the E-plastics not only supported the long-term growth of ADSCs, but also retained the multilineage differentiation potential of the cells as indicated by robust expression of STRO-1 and CD166 stemness markers (Garcia et al 2016). Intriguingly, using polystyrene TCP as a benchmark, osteogenic differentiation of ADSCs was enhanced on keyboard and diffuser E-plastics, while the prism sheet favours adipogenesis.…”

Perspectivas Do Uso De Células-Tronco Em Cirurgia Plástica

“…Nesse viés, as células-tronco derivadas do tecido adiposo (ASCs) são multipotentes, capazes de se diferenciarem em vários outros tecidos, logo, a utilização desse tipo celular é por meio de enxertos, sendo muito eficiente em cirurgias estéticas e reparadoras (AGRAWAL et al, 2019). Nesse âmbito, Garcia et al (2016) pontua que as células-tronco derivadas do tecido adiposo (ADSCs), quando enxertadas, também favorecem na angiogênese, acelerando o processo de cicatrização e aumentando a taxa de sucesso do procedimento, principalmente, nesses tipos de cirurgias.…”

Current perspectives on the use of stem cells in plastic surgery

“…This lipotransfer is characterized by the removal of fat from one part of the patient's body to be applied to another. Garcia et al 2016 Fibrin gel, made up of thrombin and fibrinogen, when used together with mesenchymal stem cells to treat burn patients, is capable of accelerating healing, as it resembles the skin. Gomes, 2011 Among the routes of inoculation of stem cells (SC), the intravenous (IV) is the least invasive, since the route of local infusion can result in unsatisfactory healing, in addition to not being suitable in organs such as the brain and heart, as it consists of in a very invasive procedure.…”
