| Summary: | One of the long-standing challenges in the field of tissue repair and regeneration is the rapid establishment of local microvascular circulation and restoration of perfusion at the site of defects or injuries. Recently, adipose tissue-derived microvascular fragments (ad-MVFs) have attracted increasing attention from researchers. Adipose tissue is rich in blood vessels, and significant progress has been made in the extraction and preservation techniques for microvascular fragments within it. Ad-MVFs promote tissue and organ repair and regeneration through three main mechanisms. First, they accelerate rapid and efficient vascularization at the injury site, enabling early vessel perfusion. Second, the stem cell components within ad-MVFs provide a rich source of cells for tissue and organ regeneration. Third, they play a role in immune regulation, facilitating integration with host tissues after implantation. The application methods of ad-MVFs are diverse. They can be directly implanted or pre-cultivated, facilitating their combination with various scaffolds and broadening their application scope. These properties have led to the wide use of ad-MVFs in tissue engineering, with promising prospects. This review demonstrates that ad-MVFs can serve as a reliable and highly feasible unit for tissue regeneration. |
