ASC enriched lipofilling

Stemform · Phase 3 active Biologic Under review

ASC enriched lipofilling is a Cell therapy / Regenerative medicine Biologic drug developed by Stemform. It is currently in Phase 3 development for Soft tissue augmentation and reconstruction, Lipodystrophy and contour deformities.

ASC enriched lipofilling uses adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) combined with autologous fat to promote tissue regeneration and improve graft survival in soft tissue augmentation.

ASC enriched lipofilling is a cosmetic fat transplantation procedure that has been studied for treating breast hypoplasia and facial ageing. It involves the use of expanded adipose-derived autologous mesenchymal stromal cells enriched in fat grafts, which is a small molecule modality.

Mechanism of action

The therapy enriches harvested autologous fat with adipose-derived stem cells, which are known to secrete growth factors and cytokines that enhance angiogenesis, reduce inflammation, and improve the viability and integration of transplanted adipose tissue. This cell-enriched approach aims to increase graft retention and functional outcomes compared to conventional lipofilling alone.
