Summary of adipose-derived therapeutics.

Type of therapeutics	Advantages	Disadvantages
SVF	• easy to isolate (point-of-care isolation) • no need of cell sorting and cell culture	• heterogenous cell composition • difficult to standardize and characterize • vary in composition and quantity depending on the host’s condition and   isolation method
AD-MSC	• more defined characteristics • efficacy can be manipulated by preconditioning	• requirement of cell culture • potential phenotypic changes and senescence upon cell culture
secretome	• cell-free reagent • safe and low immunogenicity	• potential requirement of cell culture • isolation and characterization can be time-consuming
