TL;DR: The transplantation of isolated and cultured preadipocytes within a standardised collagen matrix resulted in well-vascularised adipose-like tissue.

TL;DR: Encouraging results contribute towards a better seeded and vascularised scaffold but also show that the enhancement of adipogenic conversion of preadipocytes remains a major task for further in vivo experiments.

TL;DR: Evaluation of the angiogenic potential of heparinized matrices was further investigated by exposing them to the chorioallantoic membrane of chicken embryos and to the subcutaneous tissue of rats, and it is apparent that the physical binding of VEGF to he parin allows for a release that is beneficial to angiogenesis.

TL;DR: It is found that the shoulder is a region providing an optimum skin texture match to the neck and face, and the previously described fasciocutaneous island flap, nourished by the supraclavicular artery, was developed further and used purely as a subcutaneously tunneled island flap.

TL;DR: The microstructural properties of the scaffold and in vitro data after DRG loading (axonal regeneration along migrated and columnar-aligned SCs resembling "Band of Büngner") suggest that this novel oriented 3D collagen scaffold serves as a basis for future experimental regeneration studies in the PNS.
