Small intestinal submucosa particles are a favorable scaffold for preadipocytes, allowing ex vivo proliferation on particles small enough to be injected. Delivery of FGF-2 from poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) microspheres resulted in cell survival and enhanced vascularization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
