Abstract:

BACKGROUND: In recent years, there is an increasing area of nano-fat and its clinical application.
OBJECTIVE: To summarize the research progress and clinical application of nano-fat.
METHODS: A computer-based online search of China Academic Journals Full-text Database, Wanfang database, VIP Chinese Technology Periodical Database, Pubmed database was performed to retrieve documents regarding nano-fat and adipose-derived stem cells with the search terms “nanofat, adipose-derived stem cells, fat grafting” in Chinese and English. Fifty-two publications were included in the final analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The retrieved documents have demonstrated that nano-fat exhibits obvious effects in preventing against age and scar and on would repair and filling. However, sample size is small. A larger number of studies are required to support this conclusion. The currently prepared nano-fat contains multiple components. In-depth studies are required to investigate the precise mechanisms of action. There are no unified criteria to prepare nano-fat. Many links such as selection of fat source, method of sucking fat, mechanical emulsification and filtration of fat, and nursing after nano-fat transplantation should be further improved.

Key words: nano-fat, adipose-derived stem cells, fat transplantation, anti-aging, review, fat, filling, transplantation
