An implant for autologous soft tissue reconstruction based on an adipose-derived stem cell colonized alginate scaffold

Adipose-derived stem cells represent an interesting option for soft tissue replacement since they are easy to procure and can generate their own blood supply through the production of angiogenic factors. We seeded adipose-derived stem cells on a bioresorbable, biocompatible polymer alginate scaffold to generate autologous soft tissue constructs for repair.
