Advancing the Field of Regenerative Surgery: Highlights from the 3rd Multispecialty International Course
When I joined the Center for Tissue Engineering at UC Irvine as a research fellow in 2013, I had no idea the journey that would follow. That same year, Drs. Patrick Tonnard & Alexis Verpaele MD, PhD, and others published a groundbreaking study on Nanofat Grafting, a simple but powerful technique that simultaneously microfragments fat […]
Democratizing regenerative medicine with fat, the body’s largest source of regenerative cells
I am thrilled to share that after several years of research and development, our team has published the first of several manuscripts outlining some of the key principles and component technologies that we believe will completely revolutionize the practice of fat grafting and adipose-derived cellular therapeutics. Adipose tissue, or fat, is the largest reservoir […]
