Fat-Derived Stem Cells

There is a controversy over fat derived cells versus bone marrow derived cells.

A lot of patients are being told that you have to use bone marrow or have to use fat. It's kind of a funny discussion because everyone always believes dogmatically that their
technology is the best.

If you really isolate the nature and efficacy of the cells and you take a bone marrow derived stem cell which is also an adult mesenchymal cell and put it right next to a fat derived stem cell, they're almost identical except for a few markers on the surface of the cell. They're almost identical, so both cells are actually quite effective. So why do we use fat over bone marrow?

All of our protocols are based on fat derived cells and we understand that it's very easy to direct and nearly painless to do a mini liposuction, where as bone marrow is potentially quite painful to extract the the cells from the bone marrow.

Our patients are receiving same-day point of care treatments. We can get ten to a hundred times more stem cells from the fat than we can get from the bone marrow and it is a numbers game, the higher the number of cells that you put into a damaged area, the more likely you'll shift that healing equilibrium and and help the patient mitigate that condition and heal faster. So the absolute number of stem cells do count.

The other issue is that bone marrow would have to be expanded to get the same numbers as fat unless the patient's extremely young. With age, bone marrow stem cells decline in efficacy and function and the cells just don't grow as well.

In older people or in very sick people, the stem cells that are locked into your fat matrix are pretty resistant to age and disease and there's a slight degradation but nowhere near as much as with bone marrow. When dealing with a 30 or 40 year old athlete it may not make as much of a difference but if you're trying to treat a chronic condition with an older patient, the fat derived cells appear to be superior.

At Columbus Stem Cell Network, we have investigative protocols for studying a number of different maladies
and conditions including autoimmune, arthritis, neurologic disease, urologic disease, and orthopaedic disease.

The question that comes up is how can the same stem cell treat so many different things? How can you have the same cells that treat lung disease but also treat
cardiac disease and knee arthritis?

It's a conceptual problem only if you think of cells as a drug, because you wonder how can one drug be perfect for everything. If you understand live cellular therapy and the fundamentals of how our repair system works, it makes sense because we have the same stem cells floating around our bodies from our bone marrow that go anywhere there's damage and effect repair. So, we don't always have to have a different stem cell for every single condition.

If we're looking at reducing degenerative, inflammatory or traumatic conditions it actually makes sense that we we might use the same cells. The key is what happens when the cells interact with the damage and that damaged area make the cells change. They activate and
they respond appropriately. Sometimes they'll make cartilage, sometimes they'll make blood vessels and nerves, sometimes they'll make retinal tissue. So it depends on what tissue they're interacting with and what they're reading as a damage signal.

The primitive cells that we have in our stromal vascular fraction, which is the part of your fat, has the cellular portion that is very rich in mesenchymal stem cells and there's a lot of other cells in it also, there's immune regulatory cells, white cells, red cells and many other
different types of cells.

These stem cells are called adult mesenchymal stem cells. These cells respond to damage and change and they are capable of fixing many things. We found that adult mesenchymal stem cells from the soft tissue surrounding the fat and and the blood vessels that that are interspersed around the fat can form any kind of tissue you can imagine. They can form nerve tissue, they can form blood vessels, they can form many, many things. It just depends on the signal that they're reading and it's an on-demand system. They are smart, they're smarter than we are and they figure out what needs to be done to affect repair and they do that naturally.

Hi I'm Dr. David Garcia.

I'm medical director of Columbus Stem Cell Network. I want to talk about stem cells and their function and what they do. You have two main
systems in your body that protect us. That's your immune system which is your defense system and if anything penetrates the defense system then you need a repair system and that's your stem cells.

Stem cells have no special features but when they're challenged to repair something that's damaged, diseased or degenerated; They then go to work and they can change and differentiate and form other cells. Sometimes they affect healing not by forming other cells but by influencing damaged tissue to heal from a distance. That is a paracrine effect.

Please stay tuned for continuing explanations.

These are a sample of our success rates. This is from information derived from our 10,000 patient database.

Our patients are followed up for 5 years post procedure to see amount of improvement.

The Columbus Stem Cell Network and Cell Surgical Network is proud to have published one of the largest safety data paper on the use of autologous stromal vascular fraction (SVF) to date, including intravenous infusions. This paper comes from the work of many of our founding members, their dedication to our institutional review board approved processes, and their work in tracking patient outcomes through our network wide database. While the Cell Surgical Network aims to provide our patients the most personalized cellular medical care available, we needed to demonstrate that the surgery we practice is first and foremost safe. We continue to make many advances in our investigational work, aggregating patient data and outcomes network-wide, consistently advancing cellular medicine along the way.

Stem Cells are your body's natural healing cells. They are recruited by chemical signals emitted by damaged tissues to repair and regenerate your damaged cells. Stem Cells derived from your tissues may well be the next major advance in medicine. Columbus Stem Cell Network has the technology to produce a solution rich with your own stem cells. Under investigational protocols, these can be deployed to treat a number of degenerative conditions and diseases.

Our multi-disciplinary team of physicians spanning Orthopedic Surgery, Internal Medicine, Emergency Medicine, Functional and Regenerative Medicine, and Family Medicine will talk with you at your initial consultation to determine whether stem cell therapy might be appropriate for you.

Dr. David Garcia is a graduate of Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine. He is a Fellow in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine and a Fellow in Stem Cell Therapies through the Metabolic Medical Institute (MMI), affiliated with the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences.
