Tissue-engineered dermis grafts using stromal vascular fraction cells on the nose: A retrospective case-control study

Background In a previous study, our group demonstrated that cultured autologous fibroblast-seeded artificial dermis was superior to artificial dermis for covering defects after surgical excision of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) in terms of scar quality. However, utilizing cultured cells for clinical purposes requires Food and Drug Administration–approved facilities and techniques and a lengthy culture period. The purpose of this retrospective study...
