Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to assess and compare the chondroregenerative properties of PLA (processed lipoaspirate) and LAF (lipoaspirate fluid) cells, in a preclinical rabbit model of knee cartilage defect. The defects were repaired by a collagen I/III scaffold and added LAF-cells, PLA-cells or no cells, upon the study group. The results showed that collagen scaffolds seeded with LAF-derived stem cells appear to have slightly better activity and outcomes when compared to PLA-cells, in terms of cartilage regeneration.
