Pre-cultivation of adipose tissue-derived microvascular fragments in porous scaffolds does not improve their in vivo vascularisation potential

Adipose tissue-derived microvascular fragments represent promising vascularisation units for implanted tissue constructs. However, their reassembly into functional microvascular networks takes several days, during which the cells inside the implants are exposed to hypoxia. In the present study, we a...
