This seems like an obvious conclusion; our bodies are full of stem cells but that doesn't mean they're used for repair. What I would expect them to prove is that the body is actually using fat stem cells for repair of other organs.
I didn't read the whole article (long, information sparse), so I don't know if they came to this conclusion.
- babuskov 12y agoThey are currently focused on extracting stem cells from the fat and using those to repair tissue by injecting the extracted cells directly to the heart. There are complications, because safe way to do it is not very precise and stem cells would not attach to the heart. Trying it multiple times would increase chances of infection, which is not good for recovering heart, etc.
