Stromal vascular fraction (SVF) containing adipose stem cells (ASCs) has been used for many years in regenerative plastic surgery for autologous applications, without any focus on their potential allogenic role. Allogenic SVF transplants could be based on the possibility to use decellularized extracellular matrix (ECM) as a scaffold from a donor then re-cellularized by ASCs of the recipient, in order to develop the advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMP) in fully personalized clinical approaches. A systematic review of this field has been realized in accordance with the Preferred Reporting for Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses-Protocols (PRISMA-P) guidelines. Multistep research of the PubMed, Embase, MEDLINE, Pre-MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Clinicaltrials.gov, Scopus database, and Cochrane databases has been conducted to identify articles and investigations on human allogenic ASCs transplant for clinical use. Of the 341 articles identified, 313 were initially assessed for eligibility on the basis of the abstract. Of these, only 29 met all the predetermined criteria for inclusion according to the PICOS (patients, intervention, comparator, outcomes, and study design) approach, and 19 have been included in quantitative synthesis (meta-analysis). Ninety-one percent of the studies previously screened (284 papers) were focused on the in vitro results and pre-clinical experiments. The allogenic use regarded the treatment of perianal fistulas, diabetic foot ulcers, knee osteoarthritis, acute respiratory distress syndrome, refractory rheumatoid arthritis, pediatrics disease, fecal incontinence, ischemic heart disease, autoimmune encephalomyelitis, lateral epicondylitis, and soft tissue defects. The information analyzed suggested the safety and efficacy of allogenic ASCs and ECM transplants without major side effects.

Background: Knee osteoarthritis is the most common musculoskeletal progressive disorder that affects nearly 303 million people worldwide. This condition prevails in 10% males and 13% females among the elders above 60. Although there is conventional nonsurgical and surgical treatment available for knee osteoarthritis, there is a fascinating interest in bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) as well as adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSC), including enzymatically treated stromal vascular fraction (SVF) and mechanically treated (microfat/nanofat) injections among physicians. Hence, this systematic review aims to determine the efficacy of BMAC and AD-MSCs (enzyme and mechanically treated) injections for knee osteoarthritis treatment. Methods: A systematic review was performed on the following data sources (PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library) published on March 31, 2021. The keywords or MeSH terms include 'Knee Osteoarthritis with 'Bone marrow aspirate concentrate' OR 'BMAC' or with 'Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSC)' or with 'Stromal vascular fraction' OR 'SVF' or 'Mechanically treated AD-MSC (mfat/nanofat)'. In addition, the retrieved articles were further reviewed to identify relevant research studies. Results: The authors reviewed and tabulated data based on the year of study, study type, therapy protocol, patient population, outcome measures, and interpretation. Among the 382 records screened, 43 studies (16 on BMAC and 27 on AD-MSCs) were included in the systematic review study. Among them, only 5 were randomized controlled trials. These selected studies demonstrated short-term positive outcomes such as improvement in knee pain and function with no adverse side effects. Moreover, researchers reported varied administration methods of BMAC or AD-MSC either as standalone or in combination with other conservative procedures such as PRP (Platelets Rich Plasma), HA (Hyaluronic acid), or surgery. Conclusions: BMAC and AD-MSC (enzymatically and mechanically treated) injections prove safer and more efficacious in patients with knee osteoarthritis for a shorter duration of 2 years. However, the available literature lacks high-quality studies with no varied clinical settings and long-term follow-up of more than two years.

Abstract Background Mechanically isolated stromal vascular fraction (tSVF, tissue SVF) is a potent regenerative solution, increasingly used as a therapeutic modality for a variety of pathologies. With recent evidence conclusively favoring mechanical isolation over enzymatic alternatives, the therapeutic share and indications of tSVF are expected to grow even further. Objectives The aim of this study was to provide a systematic review of all studies reporting on the use of tSVF. Methods A systematic search was undertaken of the Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases. Outcome measures included clinical indications, such as recipient area, adverse events, clinical results recipient area, method of application, follow-up duration and evaluation methods. Results Of the total of 4505 articles identified, 186 full-texts were screened. Thirty-four studies, reporting on 1443 patients were included. tSVF-based therapy was observed for 10 different pathologies, including aged skin (8 studies), scars (5), wounds (6), osteoarthritis (6), tendinopathy (2), temporomandibular joint disorders (1), androgenic alopecia (1), perianal fistula (3), migraine (1), and vocal fold scarring (1). Across all studies, tSVF-based therapy resulted in favorable clinical results. Overall, 50 (3.43%) minor and one (0.07%) major adverse events were observed, mainly related to the liposuction procedure. Conclusions tSVF offers a safe, easy and legal treatment modality for a range of indications. Future research is indicated to identify the optimal isolation protocol, dose and timing. In addition, basic research remains crucial to identify the mechanism of action of SVF within different pathologies. Level of Evidence: 4

In recent years, lipofilling became a popular scar treatment method. Its beneficial outcomes have been partly attributed to the regenerative capacity of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), suspended in an extracellular matrix—the stromal vascular fraction (SVF). The aim of this review was to verify if existing data support the clinical use of ADSC-related interventions in scar treatment. A systematic search of the literature was performed in July 2020 in five databases (Medline, Cochrane, Web of Science, Scopus and Embase). Articles written in English, except for reviews, letters and editorials, were identified and screened for eligibility. We looked for reports of any outcomes in scars treated with ADSCs or SVF. Data from selected articles were extracted and the quality of each study was assessed. Five hundred and fourteen studies were identified in the primary search, of which nineteen were eventually included in the systematic review. Extracted data pointed to beneficial microscopic, functional and aesthetic outcomes in a total of 665 patients. Six studies included comparative interventions—platelet-rich plasma or CO2 fractional laser. Collected data give low-to-average quality evidence for beneficial effects of ADSC-related interventions in scar treatment. Some studies suggest that these interventions are noninferior to PRP or fractional CO2 laser.
