This patent seems to cover a composition of cells that is made of adipose tissue and hematopoietic tissue. The composition is useful for regeneration of a hematopoietic system after ablation. Additionally, this composition may have uses for the induction of angiogenesis. In some papers, the induction of angiogenesis by bone marrow stem cells requires large amounts of stem cells to be administered. By administering bone marrow stem cells together with various components of adipose tissue, it may be possible to obain a synergistic effect.
