Adding to that, Priglinger et al. [29] have characterized adipose-derived stromal/stem cells (ASCs) obtained from lipoaspirates and showed an increase in the number of CD146+ endothelial/pericytic cells in lipedema patients compared to healthy patients, proposing that this increase might be a marker of leaky blood and lymphatic vessels in lipedema adipose tissue. This evidence concerns the gene MCAM and Lipedema.
