• implant-induced differentiation of the patient's own stem cells into fat cells – preferable directly in the patient's body, and • adapting the implant individually to form, shape and three-dimensionality for each Patient
Considering these results, the Hohenstein scientists aimed to grow patient's own stem cells on three dimensional implants made of biopolymers. These adult stem cells could be differentiated into fat cells in order to build a soft tissue substitute without causing inflammatory responses or transplant rejection.
