Problems solved by technology

However, ESCs have theoretic limitations to their use.
When stem cells or tissues derived from them are transplanted into another person, toxic immune suppressing drugs may be needed by the cell recipient to prevent rejection.
Similarly, extraction of stem cells from skin involves a complicated series of cell culture steps over several weeks.
These expansion and differentiation steps may provide increased cell number, purity, and maturity, but they do so at a cost.
This cost can include one or more of: loss of cell function due to cell aging, loss of potentially useful non-stem cell cell populations, delays in potential application of cells to patients, increased monetary cost, and increased risk of contamination of

Autologous Fat Transfer

[0106] Autologous fat transfer is a relatively common cosmetic and structural procedure involving the harvest of adipose tissue (fat) from one location and reimplantation in another location within the same individual (Coleman, S. R. (1995). "Long-term survival of fat transplants: controlled demonstrations." Aesthetic Plast Surg 19(5): 421-5; Coleman, S. R. (2001). "Structural fat grafts: the ideal filler?" Clin Plast Surg 28(1): 111-9; Coleman, W. P., 3rd (1991). "Autologous fat transplantation." Plast Reconstr Surg 88(4): 736.). However, as indicated above, this procedure is frequently compromised by inconsistent engraftment such that the implanted material is fully or partially resorbed or is replaced by scar tissue (Eremia, S. and N. Newman (2000). "Long-term follow-up after autologous fat grafting: analysis of results from 116 patients followed at least 12 months after receiving the last of a minimum of two treatments." Dermatol Surg 26(12): 1150-8). At l...

Acute Liver Injury

[0110] Liver damage induced by intraperitoneal injection with allyl alcohol is a common model of periportal acute liver injury (Lee, J. H., Z. Ilic, et al. (1996). "Cell kinetics of repair after allyl alcohol-induced liver necrosis in mice." Int J Exp Pathol 77(2): 63-72; Werlich, T., K. J. Stiller, et al. (1999). "Experimental studies on the stem cell concept of liver regeneration. II." Exp Toxicol Pathol 51(1): 93-8.; Yin, L., D. Lynch, et al. (1999). "Participation of different cell types in the restitutive response of the rat liver to periportal injury induced by allyl alcohol." J Hepatol 31(3): 497-507). This model has been used to demonstrate the presence of a population of stem cells that is critical to liver regeneration (Yavorkovsky, L., E. Lai, et al. (1995). "Participation of small intraportal stem cells in the restitutive response of the liver to periportal necrosis induced by allyl alcohol." Hepatology 21(6): 1702-12; Werlich, T., K. J. Stiller, et al....

Acute Heart Damage

[0112] Acute myocardial infarct (heart attack) results in ischemic injury to the myocardium. Tissue damage can be minimized by reperfusion of the damaged tissue and by regeneration of myocardial tissue (Murry, C. E., R. W. Wiseman, et al. (1996). "Skeletal myoblast transplantation for repair of myocardial necrosis." J Clin Invest 98(11): 2512-23; Orlic, D., J. Kajstura, et al. (2001). "Bone marrow cells regenerate infarcted myocardium." Nature 410(6829): 701-5; Rajnoch, C., J. C. Chachques, et al. (2001). "Cellular therapy reverses myocardial dysfunction." J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 121(5): 871-8; Strauer, B. E., M. Brehm, et al. (2002). "Repair of infarcted myocardium by autologous intracoronary mononuclear bone marrow cell transplantation in humans." Circulation 106(15): 1913-8). The bedside approach described in this disclosure would provide a potentially superior source of regenerative cells in that cells could be provided in greater numbers and purity without th...

Abstract

Cells present in processed lipoaspirate tissue are used to treat patients. Methods of treating patients include processing adipose tissue to deliver a concentrated amount of stem cells obtained from the adipose tissue to a patient. The methods may be practiced in a closed system so that the stem cells are not exposed to an external environment prior to being administered to a patient. Compositions that are administered to a patient include a mixture of adipose tissue and stem cells so that the composition has a higher concentration of stem cells than when the adipose tissue was removed from the patient.

Description

[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 338,856, entitled BEDSIDE DEVICE, SYSTEM AND USE OF PROCESSED LIPOASPIRATE CELLS AND ADIPODERIVED STEM CELLS, and filed Dec. 7, 2001, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.[0002] 1. Field of the Invention[0003] This invention generally relates to cells derived from adipose tissue, and more particularly, to adipo-derived stem cells, methods of using adipo-derived stem cells, compositions containing adipo-derived stem cells, and systems for preparing and using adipo-derived stem cells.[0004] 2. Description of Related Art[0005] Regenerative medicine can be defined as harnessing the body's regenerative mechanisms in a clinically targeted manner, using them in ways that are not part of the normal healing mechanism or by artificially amplifying normal mechanisms. One classic example of this process is found in bone marrow transplantation where hematopoietic stem and progenitor cel...
