 Presidential Note

                        On behalf of the IFATS Board of Directors, I have the pleasure to welcome
                        you to our 18th Annual Meeting in beautiful Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

                         In 2002, IFATS was founded by four scientific visionaries following the historical discovery
                         of mesenchymal stem cells in human subcutaneous adipose tissue. Since then, the IFATS
                         annual meeting has presented leading professionals in the exciting field of regenerative
medicine with the opportunity to both present and learn about cutting edge scientific and clinical research.
A robust group of plastic surgeons, cell biologists, research scientists and physicians in other complementary
domains gather at this meeting each year where they exchange the most current knowledge on basic,
translational, and clinical research in adipose-derived products, including adipose-derived stem cells (ASC’s).

IFATS works closely with other leading scientific organizations to organize collaborating panels for attendees that
will be an important part of our 18th annual event. We will once again present the Industry Showcase, and this
year it will take part of our podium presentations. In addition, several of our industry leaders will offer “Lunch and
Learn” Tables available with reserved seating on Thursday.

The IFATS annual meeting provides all our attendees the opportunity to learn about state-of-the-art technology
and clinical practice, as well as, cutting-edge products developed by our exhibiting companies, and further, to
interact with the brightest minds in the field. For the first time, this year will be offered as a hybrid meeting. Those
who cannot attend due to travel restrictions or schedules may join us “Live” on line streaming. The 2021 meeting
features a Thursday evening casual gathering on the hotel pool deck overlooking beautiful Fort Lauderdale beach
during which attendees will enjoy time with colleagues and a chance to interact with international leaders in the
field.

We are very pleased that you will join us at the IFATS annual meeting this year and we are sure you will benefit
from exciting new ideas and valuable tools for your research and clinical practice.

CHANGES IN EXPANSION PRESSURES IN EXPANDER-BASED
POST-MASTECTOMY DEFECT RECONSTRUCTION: THE EFFECT
OF FAT GRAFTING IN NORMAL AND RADIATED TISSUES

Presenter: Donald Browne (USA)

Introduction: The impact of fat grafting on the viscoelasticity of
irradiated tissues is poorly defined. We investigate the effect of
subcutaneous fat grafting on post-mastectomy tissue expansion in
patients undergoing delayed breast reconstruction. We hypothesize fat
grafting changed the trophic and viscoelastic properties of the breast
soft tissue envelope.

Methods: Post-mastectomy defects delayed more than two
years and reconstructed with sub-pectoral tissue expanders were
prospectively studied. Control (no irradiation, no fat grafting, n=7),
fat grafted control (no irradiation, fat grafting n=8), and radiated
mastectomy (irradiation, fat grafting, n=9) groups were included
(Figure 1). Hydrostatic pressure of the tissue was measured before
and immediately after expansion, and again post expansion day 1 and
prior to the following expansion session (Figure 2). Pressure changes
calculated as “post expansion-relaxation interval”: difference between
maximal pressure at each expansion and the minimal pressure prior to
each expansion session.

Results: Hydrostatic pressure plots reflect the soft tissue envelope’s
ability to accommodate sequential expansion. Fat grafted breasts
demonstrated a statistically significant increased “post expansion-
relaxation interval” versus the non-grafted control group (P< 0.0001,
Figure 3). Viscoelastic changes impact the overall expansion time: the
fat grafted group achieved total expansion two weeks earlier than the
nongrafted control group (P< 0.05). The fat grafted, radiated group
completed expansion in similar time interval as non-grafted control
group. Complications were not significantly different between the
irradiated, grafted breasts and control breasts.

Conclusions: Observed viscoelastic changes impact the overall
expansion time. Fat grafting in non-radiated mastectomy defects allows
for shorter expansion period. Fat grating in radiated mastectomy
defects appears to allow safe expansion, and expansion durations
equivalent to non-radiated, non-fat grafted control defects.

INVESTIGATING THE EFFECT OF FACTORS SECRETED FROM
ADIPOSE TISSUE ON MYOFIBROBLAST DIFFERENTIATION

Aberrant activation of fibroblasts to myofibroblasts is a key event in the
formation of hypertrophic scars. Dysregulated differentiation leads to
excessive production of extracellular matrix (ECM) components, such
as collagen, resulting in thick, inflexible, painful scars for which there is
no current effective treatment (1). Autologous fat grafting is an exciting
new surgical option that has been shown to regenerate and improve
the appearance and function of scar tissue (2). Despite this reported
effect, we still have a limited understanding of how adipose tissue
exerts these effects at a bio-molecular level and there is a gap between
our scientific understanding and clinical observations. The aim of this         Aberrant activation of fibroblasts to myofibroblasts is a key event in the formation of hypertrophic
