Abstract: BACKGROUND: Vascularization is essential for wound healing and functional recovery during soft tissue repair. Adipose tissue is believed to be the body’s largest source of stem cells, and a number of different fat complexes have been developed for research and treatment. Its ability to promote angiogenesis and soft tissue repair has been extensively studied.
OBJECTIVE: To review the progress of vascularization in soft tissue repair, and to summarize the preparation methods of adipose tissue and its derivative and their applications in vascularization and soft tissue repair. It is proven that adipose tissue and its derivative have excellent research value and clinical application prospects in vascular and soft tissue engineering.
METHODS: PubMed, Web of Science and CNKI databases were used to search the related articles published from January 2010 to February 2023. The search terms were “soft tissue repair, wound healing, vascularization, angiogenesis, adipose tissue, stromal vascular fraction, adipose tissue-derived microvascular fragment, nanofat, adipose extracellular matrix/stromal vascular fraction gel” in Chinese and English. A small number of old classic literature was also included. An initial screening was performed by reading the titles and abstracts to exclude literature that was not relevant to the topic of the article, and 69 papers were finally included for the analysis of the result.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Wound healing is an important physiological process, which mainly occurs when tissue is damaged, such as injury, surgery, burn, tumor, infection and vascular disease caused by tissue damage and defects. (2) Adequate vascularization of the wound site is essential for tissue repair, reconstruction of local homeostasis and functional recovery. (3) Adipose tissue is believed to be the body’s largest pool of stem cells and a number of different fat components have been used for research and treatment. (4) Due to its inherent composition and preparation advantages, adipose tissue will continue to play an important role in tissue engineering research and therapy.

Key words: soft tissue repair, wound healing, vascularization, adipose tissue, stromal vascular fraction, adipose tissue-derived microvascular fragment, nanofat, adipose extracellular matrix/stromal vascular fraction gel
