A Proof of Concept Study to Demonstrate the Effectiveness of Antria Cell Preparation Process (Ace Process) in Extraction of Stromal Vascular Fraction From Adipose Tissue
A Proof of Concept Study to Demonstrate the Effectiveness of Antria Cell Preparation Process (Ace Process) in Extraction of Stromal Vascular Fraction From Adipose Tissue
Human Adipose Tissue is considered as a new source for Stromal Stem Cells and offers a large therapeutic potential for many rare and common diseases that impacts millions of patients worldwide. The Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) of Adipose Tissue is relatively easy to extract with minimally invasive procedures such as elective liposuction in large quantities and therefore may be a cost effective source for cellular therapies in a wide range of medical specialties. In this study we aim to demonstrate the efficacy of Antria Cell Preparation Process© in obtaining human adipose derived Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) by performing histology, various cell counts, multiple surface marker tests and measurement of the residual amount of digestive enzymes as a safety measure for human clinical trials.
