The flab, which is left post liposuction, is filled with multipotent cells called adipose, or fat, stem cells.
Spinal Cord Society (Fergus Falls, MN) has patented a process for generating multipotent cells from glial cells using in vitro techniques to dedifferentiate fetal or adult mammalian glial cells into multipotent cells.
The objective of this initiative is to promote a thorough exploration and characterization of the bi-directional communication between multipotent cells and the three-dimensional local milieu or niche that they encounter in vivo under normal and compromised states, such as with aging or following injury, disease, or drug exposure.
