TL;DR

Adipose‐derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF)‐gel has an autologous origin and favorable immunocompatibility and exhibits favorable safety and efficacy in facilitating cartilage regeneration and repair.

Abstract

Osteoarthritis (OA), a prevalent degenerative joint disorder, is suboptimally managed by existing treatments owing to adverse effects, limited therapeutic efficacy, and the inability to achieve genuine cartilage repair. Adipose‐derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF)‐gel, which is abundant in stem cells and bioactive factors, has an autologous origin and favorable immunocompatibility and exhibits favorable safety and efficacy in facilitating cartilage regeneration and repair. Building upon prior research, this review discusses the clinical efficacy and potential of SVF‐gel, while also recognizing challenges such as the standardization of preparation procedures and dosage optimization. Future research ought to concentrate on integrating advanced technologies, including gene editing, artificial intelligence (AI), and nanomaterials, to drive its development towards more precise and personalized therapeutic approaches.
