Potential mechanism of action of ADSCs and ECs present in SVF towards angiogenesis. Breakdown of adipose tissue releases many cell types, which together are termed SVF. The cells of the SVF can produce several bioactive soluble factors. ADSCs and EPCs, two important components of SVF, cross-talk via VEGF and PDGF-BB, respectively (among other components), to enable cell proliferation, homing towards injury, neovascularisation and other inter-connected outcomes. ADSC adipose-derived stromal cell, bFGF basic fibroblast growth factor, EC endothelial cell, EPC endothelial progenitor cell, GF growth factor, IGF-1 insulin-like growth factor-1, MMP matrix metalloproteinase, PDGF platelet-derived growth factor, RBC red blood cell, SVF stromal vascular fraction, VEGF vascular endothelial growth factor
