title: [Advancement of adipose-derived stem cells assisted autologous lipotransfer in breast repair and reconstruction].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To review the latest progress in the major biological properties of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) and ADSCs assisted autologous lipotransfer in breast repair and reconstruction.
  
  
  METHODS
  Recent literature about ADSCs assisted autologous lipotransfer in breast repair and reconstruction was reviewed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  ADSCs have multipotential differentiation capacity, and they could promote angiogenesis and regulate immune reactions. ADSCs assisted autologous lipotransfer can obtain satisfactory effectiveness in breast repair and reconstruction with few complications, but more studies are needed to confirm the long-term safety.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  ADSCs assisted autologous lipotransfer has good effectiveness in breast repaired and reconstruction. But further clinical trials are needed to confirm the long-term safety.
