Human Body's Fat Seen As best Source of Stem Cells For Regenerative

Therapies

Gene Marcial, Contributor

The human body*s usually unwanted fat tissue may end up, after all, as a

very useful contributor to regenerative medicine, a rapidly expanding set of

innovative medical technologies that restore human function by enabling

the body to repair, replace, or regenerate damaged, aging or diseased cells,

tissues, and organs. The use of

autologous or one*s own fat, which in itself contains large amounts of

various types of stem cells, is a new frontier in medicine that*s widely

accepted in Europe and Asia.

Several young biotech firms are already using an adult*s own stem cells

not for cosmetic effects alone but to meet the rising demand for anti-aging

and rejuvenation treatments, as well as addressing more serious medical

conditions, including acute cardiovascular disease, chronic fatigue syndrome,

inflammation, arthritis, and hypertension.

Certainly the cell therapy industry is showing great potential for huge

growth. **We note that the current business fundamentals in cosmetic and

reconstructive surgery are improving,** says Napolitano, analyst at Zacks

Investment Research. The leader in the group is Cytori Therapeutics

(CYTX), which develops and makes medical products and devices for regenerative

medicine.
