MAteRiAlS AND MethODS: Since 2010, fat grafting was performed in 140 patients. Posttraumatic, postoperative, and postirradiated contour deformities were treated in 74 cases (breast, 31; head and neck, 27; and other localizations, 16). In 61 patients, fat was injected to promote chronic wound healing (venous ulcers, 22; diabetic ulcers, 17; radiation wounds, 16; and other etiology, 6). Adipose-d...

Autologous fat grafting is commonly utilised to reconstruct soft tissue defects caused by ageing, trauma, chronic wounds and cancer resection. The benefits of fat grafting are minimal donor site morbidity and ease of availability through liposuction or lipectomy. Nonetheless, survival and longevity of fat grafts remain poor post-engraftment. Various methods to enhance fat graft survival are cur...

Obesity is an unconstrained worldwide epidemic. Unraveling molecular controls in adipose tissue development holds promise to treat obesity or diabetes. Although numerous immortalized adipogenic cell lines have been established, adipose-derived stem cells from the stromal vascular fraction of subcutaneous white adipose tissues provide a reliable cellular system ex vivo much closer to adipose dev...

BACKGROUND Obesity is associated with prostate cancer aggressiveness and mortality. The contribution of periprostatic adipose tissue, which is often infiltrated by malignant cells, to cancer progression is largely unknown. Thus, this study aimed to determine if periprostatic adipose tissue is linked with aggressive tumor biology in prostate cancer. METHODS Supernatants of whole adipose tissue...
