Adipose Tissue Formation Utilizing Fat Flap Distraction Technique
Abstract Co-regulation between adipocytes and supporting vasculature is considered an important process in adipose tissue generation. The objective of this study was to evaluate the mechanical and biological effects of a distraction technique on adipose tissue formation and maintenance. Based on the...
