Background: Ascorbic acid-2-phosphate has been reported to play a role in cell division and to suppress aging of cell. However, post-thawed cell morphology on various concentration of ascorbic acid is still unclear. In this study, we aimed to observe the morphology of post-thawed adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) in medium containing L-ascorbic acid-2-phosphate (LAA2P) (50 and 100 µg/mL).

Autologous SVF, which is a substance containing stem cells, was isolated from lipoaspirate, mixed with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and administered to patients with degenerative diseases, autoimmune diseases, trauma, aging, and other diseases with unknown etiology. This study aimed to determine the safety of SVF and PRP that were given through infusion, spinal, and intra-articular injection.
