Characterizing the Mechanisms of ASC-Mediated Adipose Tissue Regeneration in a Syngeneic Murine Implant Model comments

by Lauren Flynn John Walker
Adipose tissue has a high capacity for expansion and regression throughout mammalian life. Nevertheless, following reconstructive surgeries designed to augment adipose depots, or tissue injury, adipose tissue displays limited regenerative capacity, and is instead often replaced with scar tissue...
