Macrophages promote network formation and maturation of transplanted adipose tissue–derived microvascular fragments

Adipose tissue–derived microvascular fragments rapidly reassemble into microvascular networks within implanted scaffolds. Herein, we analyzed the contribution of macrophages to this process. C57BL/6 mice received clodronate (clo)-containing liposomes for macrophage depletion, whereas animals treated...
