However, it is frequently associated with an unpredictable resorption rate of the graft depending on the engraftment kinetics. This, in turn, is determined by the interaction of the grafted adipose tissue with the tissue at the recipient site. Accordingly, preconditioning strategies have been developed following the principle of exposing these tissues in the pretransplantation phase to stimuli inducing endogenous protective and regenerative cellular adaptations, such as the upregulation of stress-response genes or the release of cytokines and growth factors. As summarized in the present review, these stimuli include hypoxia, dietary restriction, local mechanical stress, heat, and exposure to fractional carbon dioxide laser. Preclinical studies show that they promote cell viability, adipogenesis, and angiogenesis, while reducing inflammation, fibrosis, and cyst formation, resulting in a higher survival rate and quality of fat grafts in different experimental settings. Hence, preconditioning represents a promising approach to improve the outcome of fat grafting in future clinical practice. For this purpose, it is necessary to establish standardized preconditioning protocols for specific clinical applications that are efficient, safe, and easy to implement into routine procedures.</p>","PeriodicalId":23134,"journal":{"name":"Tissue Engineering.

This approach is being explored in various fields, including immunotherapy, tissue engineering, and cell therapy. However, recent discoveries have elucidated the complex interactions between MSCs and microorganisms, especially bacteria and viruses, raising concerns regarding the utility of MSCs in clinical applications. In this review, we discussed the interactions between MSCs and microorganisms and highlighted both positive and negative aspects. We also examined the use of bacterial-derived compounds in MSCs-mediated interventions. The balanced colonization of the microbiome in organs, such as the oral cavity, not only does not hinder therapeutic interventions but also could be crucial for achieving desirable outcomes. On the contrary, disturbances in the microbiome have been found to disturb the biological potential of MSCs, such as migration, osteogenic differentiation, and cell proliferation. Evidence also suggests that commensal bacteria, following certain interventions, can transition to a pathogenic state when interacting with MSCs, leading to acute inflammation. Indeed, the maintenance of homeostasis through various approaches, such as probiotic application, results in an optimal equilibrium during MSCs-based therapies. However, further investigation into this matter is imperative to identify efficacious interventions.</p>","PeriodicalId":23134,"journal":{"name":"Tissue Engineering.

This systematic review synthesizes preclinical and clinical evidence on hDAM's regenerative potential, focusing on its capacity to integrate with host tissue and enhance volume retention. A comprehensive literature search was performed across multiple databases yielding 21 studies (14 preclinical, 6 clinical, and 1 combined) that met eligibility criteria. Risk of bias (RoB) was evaluated for animal and human studies using the Collaboration for the Assessment of Risks and Benefits of Anticancer Therapies (CAMARADES) and RoB In Nonrandomized Studies of Interventions (ROBINS-I) tools, respectively. Key preclinical findings indicate that hDAM supports progressive angiogenesis and adipogenesis, with significant weekly increases in vessel formation and adipocyte development. Linear mixed models were used to quantify these rates, showing an increase of 0.366% per week (<i>p</i> < 0.001) in the percentage of CD31+ positive area, and a 3.88% rise in perilipin-positive area per week (<i>p</i> < 0.001), representing angiogenesis and adipogenesis, respectively. Variability in regeneration rates underscores the influence of different hDAM preparation methods, such as enzyme-free decellularization and ultrasonication, which have been shown to improve cell compatibility and volume retention. Clinical studies demonstrate that hDAM achieves notable volume retention and patient satisfaction, particularly in facial and body contouring applications, while also improving skin texture, tone, and functionality. Compared with traditional autologous fat transfer and synthetic fillers, hDAM offers advantages in integration, resorption rates, and low complication risks, without donor site morbidity. Limitations of current studies include variability in hDAM preparation techniques, inconsistent outcome measures, and a paucity of long-term follow-up data. This review establishes hDAM as a safe and effective scaffold for soft tissue regeneration and provides a quantitative analysis of its regenerative timeline. Standardizing preparation methods and outcome measures, coupled with more randomized clinical trials, will be essential for optimizing treatment protocols. Future directions include exploring patient-specific factors and combination therapies to enhance hDAM's applicability in reconstructive and aesthetic surgery.</p>","PeriodicalId":23134,"journal":{"name":"Tissue Engineering.

It begins by briefly outlining the major scaffolds currently used in CTE and distinguishing those with antimicrobial properties. Among the antimicrobial scaffolds identified, chitosan and chondroitin sulfate stand out for their promising compatibility and antibacterial properties. The review then explores additives that meet three essential criteria: compatibility with chondrocytes, suitability for use in CTE scaffolds, and antibacterial efficacy. Chitosan, zinc oxide, silver, and copper emerge as leading candidates due to their compatibility with chondrocytes and proven antibacterial capabilities. Importantly, the criteria used in this review were chosen to provide researchers with a practical and reliable starting point for immediate application. However, it is acknowledged that other promising antibacterial modifications such as fabrication processes and additives such as bioactive glass and graphene oxide, which may not fit these criteria, also hold potential for future research and innovation.
