Researchers Look Into Using Stem Cells From Connective Tissue To Build Up Fat At Breast.
2001 MAY 24 -- (NewsRx Network) -- Using stem cells taken from connective tissue in the body, researchers hope to build up a volume of fat at the breast as part of reconstructive surgery.
"The method we are studying would make use of the body's own cells," said Dr. Eser Yuksel an assistant professor of surgery at Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas. "We want to avoid the use of any implant material in reconstructive surgery and the transfer of tissue from other places on the body."
Growing cells at the surgical site would lessen complications that can result from using artificial implants or transplanted tissue, he said.
Muscle fascia, a non-fatty connective tissue found throughout the body, is being studied as a source of stem cells to generate the fat.
"This is a new dimension in fat generation research," Yuksel said. "We are targeting a tissue fascia - that has not been investigated as a source of stem cells."
He said preliminary data in animal studies show ...
