Endogenous Stem Cell Therapy Enhances Fat Graft Survival

Background: Lipoaspirate centrifugation creates graded density of adipose tissue. High-density fat contains more vasculogenic cytokines and progenitor cells and has greater graft survival than low-density fat. The authors hypothesize that accelerating the bone marrow–derived progenitor cell response to injected low-density fat will improve its graft survival. Methods: Male 8-week-old FVB mice (n = 60) were grafted with either high-density (n =...
