Methods of using regenerative cells to promote epithelialization or neodermis formation
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of inducing epithelialization or neodermis formation at a wound of the skin of a subject, comprising:
- identifying a subject with an wound; and
administering a therapeutically effective amount of a concentrated population of adipose-derived regenerative cells comprising adipose-derived stem cells and endothelial progenitor cells to said subject sufficient to accelerate the healing of said wound, wherein said concentrated population of adipose-derived regenerative cells is obtained by acquiring an adipose tissue sample, separating away adipocytes and connective tissue, and washing and concentrating said adipose-derived regenerative cells.

Abstract
Cells present in adipose tissue are used to promote wound healing in a patient. Methods of treating patients include processing adipose tissue to deliver a concentrated amount of regenerative cells obtained from the adipose tissue to a patient. The methods may be practiced in a closed system so that the regenerative cells are not exposed to an external environment prior to being administered to a patient. Accordingly, in a preferred method, cells present in adipose tissue are placed directly into a recipient along with such additives necessary to promote, engender or support a therapeutic benefit.
