Vascularisation of porous scaffolds is improved by incorporation of adipose tissue-derived microvascular fragments

In tissue engineering, the generation of tissue constructs comprising preformed microvessels is a promising strategy to guarantee their adequate vascularisation after implantation. Herein, we analysed whether this may be achieved by seeding porous scaffolds with adipose tissue-derived microvascular...
