A Mannheim institute, operating since 2006, treating osteoarthritis and sports injuries with the stromal vascular fraction of the patient's own fat tissue.
The CellReg Institute is at the Facharztzentrum, Collinistrasse 11 in Mannheim, Germany — a specialist medical centre in the city. The site is published in English and German and states the institute has been operating since 2006. It also lists a second location at the German Medical Center in Dubai Healthcare City, and notes that specialised cell therapies are carried out only at approved facilities, so consultation and aftercare may happen at one location while treatment happens at another.
The institute's cell treatment is autologous, meaning it uses the patient's own tissue. The site describes taking fat from the abdomen or flanks under local anaesthetic, then concentrating and activating in the laboratory the stromal vascular fraction — the part of fat tissue that contains mesenchymal stem cells along with other cells and structural proteins. The site says this processing takes about 45 minutes, after which the preparation is injected under local anaesthetic using the same technique as an ordinary hyaluronic acid or cortisone joint injection.
Two other treatments sit alongside it. The institute offers platelet rich plasma, a concentrate prepared from the patient's own blood, and autologous cartilage transplantation, in which the patient's own cartilage cells are cultured and returned. The work is orthopaedic in focus: osteoarthritis, sports injuries and damage to joints, tendons and ligaments.
The named physician is Professor Dr med Gerald Zimmermann. The site says it follows patients up with magnetic resonance imaging at three months, one year and two years, which is a more structured approach to follow-up than most providers in this directory describe. It also states that the results are impressive, without publishing figures to support that — a claim readers should treat as the institute's own and unverified. Languages given are English, German and Arabic, and no prices are published.
The institute's work is orthopaedic and the conditions it names are confined to joints and soft tissue, a narrower and more coherent list than many providers publish.
The site states that the institute concentrates and activates the stromal vascular fraction of the patient's own fat tissue, a preparation it says contains mesenchymal stem cells, and injects it into the affected joint.

The institute occupies rooms in the Facharztzentrum, a specialist medical centre at Collinistrasse 11 in Mannheim, and lists a second location at the German Medical Center in Dubai Healthcare City. The site states that cell therapies are carried out only at approved facilities and that consultation, assessment and aftercare may take place at either location depending on circumstances, so a patient should confirm where their own treatment would happen. It describes laboratory processing of the fat tissue on a timescale of about 45 minutes, and a follow-up imaging protocol at three months, one year and two years.
The site does not publish prices for stromal vascular fraction treatment or for any of its other procedures, and gives no indication of cost on the pages read.
