Orthobiologics, such as autologous nanofat, are emerging as a potential treatment option for osteoarthritis (OA), a common degenerative joint causing pain and disability in the elderly. Nanofat, a minimally processed human fat graft rich in stromal vascular fraction (SVF) secretory factors, has shown promise in relieving pain. This study aimed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying nanofat treatment of OA-affected cells and compare two filtration systems used for nanofat preparation.
