MFAT Stem Cells for Knee Pain: A Promising Treatment Option Mesenchymal stem cells derived from MFAT (Microfragmented Adipose Tissue) are increasingly being explored as a treatment for knee pain, particularly in individuals suffering from osteoarthritis or cartilage damage. This therapy uses stem cells sourced from a patient’s own fat tissue, offering a regenerative approach to managing knee pain and promoting healing. MFAT is obtained through a minimally invasive process that involves liposuction to extract fat from areas like the abdomen or thighs. The fat is then processed to create microfragmented adipose tissue, which contains not only mesenchymal stem cells but also growth factors, cytokines, and extracellular matrix components that support tissue repair and regeneration. These components help promote the healing of damaged cartilage, reduce inflammation, and stimulate the production of new cells. In knee osteoarthritis, the cartilage in the joint deteriorates over time, leading to pain, swelling, and limited mobility. Traditional treatments such as pain medications, physical therapy, and joint replacement surgery may offer relief, but they often fail to address the underlying tissue damage. MFAT stem cell therapy offers a more regenerative alternative. When injected into the knee joint, MFAT stem cells can reduce inflammation, encourage the growth of new cartilage, and repair damaged tissues. Research into MFAT stem cells for knee treatment has shown promising results. Studies have reported improved pain management, enhanced function, and increased cartilage thickness in patients who undergo this treatment. Unlike other stem cell therapies, MFAT is particularly advantageous because it uses the patient’s own tissue, reducing the risk of immune rejection or complications. While MFAT stem cell therapy is not yet a standard treatment, ongoing studies continue to demonstrate its potential for addressing knee pain and cartilage degeneration in patients with knee osteoarthritis or injury. NOTE: Per the FDA we do not go beyond minimal manipulation of fat tissue. This is illegal in the United States.
