[Bone to the chin from adipose-derived stem cells].

: Adipose-derived stem cells have already proven their effectivity, for instance in the experimental treatment of bone defects. Bone defects in the facial and cranial region are complicated, and finding a suitable autologous bone transplant for them is difficult. Stem cell treatments have already been carried out successfully, and preclinical experiments have aroused no concerns about safety. We describe means to prepare so-called personal replacements for bone defects from the patient's own stem cells isolated from the adipose tissue, and the course of experimental therapy of two stem cell patients.
