Adipose Stem Cells Storage

Are you considering getting a liposuction procedure?
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to preserve these precious cells!

What are Adipose Stem Cells?

Adipose (fat) tissue is a dynamic multi-functional tissue that is found throughout the human body. The stem cells originated from adipose tissue mesenchymal stem cells which have the ability to differentiate into bone, muscle, fat, nerve, and cartilage. Preliminary research performed at GeneCell International has shown the presence of early stem cells markers as well.

Adipose-derived stem cells are easy to obtain through a simple and localized liposuction process using local anesthesia and with minimal patient discomfort. These autologous adult stem cells show the same morphology, immune phenotype and differentiation capacity as stem cells obtained from bone marrow and umbiical cord blood. They are free of ethical debate and use tissue which is abundant and easy to access. A single sample of adipose tissue can yield more than 200 million stem cells of which 95% are mesenchymal stem cells. These cells appear to be one of the body’s tools for self-repair.

Mesenchymal stem cells are capable of performing three important fuctions with unique abilities:

Plasticity: their potential to transform into other cell types.
Honing: they can travel to the damaged tissue.
Engraftment: their ability to attach themselves to the damaged tissue.

Why GeneCells?

In collaboration with Pierini Esthetic, GeneCell International is one of the leaders in the field of stem cell banking. We operate a laboratory that focuses on processing and cryopreserving stem cells derived from umbilical cord blood, dental pulp, adipose tissue, other tissues, and cells that can be cryogenically preserved.

Our purpose is to provide the highest quality stem cell products and services and the best customer service, unparalleled scientific excellence and innovative leadership in the areas of stem cell collection, processing and cryopreservation.

How do Adipose Stem Cells work?

1. Adipose Stem Cells delivered into damaged tissues can release growth factors to stimulate the healing of the damaged tissue.
2. Can promote wound healing through the release of growth factors that will cause new blood vessel growth to the site of injury.
3. Adipose Stem Cells may, through the release of endogenous growth factors, modulate the stem cell niche and recruit other stem cells to the side of injury and promote their differentiation.
4. In a related manner Adipose Stem Cells may provide antioxidants, free-radical scavengers, and chaperones to an ischemic site.
5. Finally, Adipose Stem Cells can also differentiate into a determined cell lineage to repair the damaged tissue.

Adipose Tissue Storage

Always at the forefront of stem cell research, processing and cryopreservation, GeneCell International is also one of the few adipose tissue stem cell banks in the world. To store our clients’ invaluable stem cells, we use the best scientifically developed techniques in the area of cryopreservation.

First, we used specialized cryogenic tubes. Then, a controlled-rate freezing process is used to prepare the cells for long-term storage. This technique is very important for maintaining the viability of the adipose stem cells and for achieving the subsequent and necessary sustained cryogenic temperature in the cryogenic storage. Once the cells are brought to the optimun temperature, and placed in a cryogenic storage boxes, which then goes into the cryogenic storage tanks.

Once the stem cells are properly and safely stored, you have control over their use and disposal. No stem cells can be released without your consent.

Based on current research, stem cells can be successfully stored for 25 years in a cryopreserving storage. Although not enough years have passed to assert the maximum length of time viable stem cells can be stored with certainty, bone marrow, another similar source of cells, has been successfully stored for decades and has remained viable throughout that time.

FACTS

-Approximately 400,000 liposuction procedures are performed each year in the United States and this number is on the rise. These procedures yield anywhere from 100ml to 3L of lipoaspirate tissue. This material is routinely discarded as medical waste.
-In 100ml of lipoaspirate one can find 100,000 stem cells.
-In 3L of lipoaspirate one can find 3 million stem cells.

Potential Treatable Diseases

Adipose-derived stem cells have the potential to treat a variety of different diseases and conditions that range from breast soft tissue reconstruction after tumor surgery to treatment of brain injuries, stroke, heart failure and more.

Currently, there are several clinical trials using adipose stem cells to treat a variety of disorders, including:

-Traumatic Calvaria (skull-cap) Defects

-Lipodystrophy

-Myocardial Infarction

-Diabetes Type I

-Diabetes Type II

-Liver Cirrhosis

-Maxillary Reconstruction

-Chron’s Disease

-Chronic Critical Limb Ischemia

-Chronic Critical Limb Ischemia in Diabetic Patients

-Fecal Incontinence

-GVHD

-Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis
