Safety Study of Acellular Adipose Tissue for Soft Tissue Reconstruction

The components of the adipose-derived scaffold are all naturally occurring AAT proteins and proteoglycans that provide a natural scaffold. The nature of the AAT also enhances host tissue integration since matrix components can be easily degraded by cell-secreted enzymes as tissue remodeling takes place. Mechanisms for matrix turnover are already established in host cells, avoiding any concerns over proper clearance of scaffold materials from the body.
