Improvement of the Survival of Autologous Free-Fat Transplants in Rats Using Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor 165–Transfected Bone Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Abstract

When transfected by the VEGF165 gene, the BMSCs of a rat can better promote the regeneration of capillaries, which can improve the survival rate of transplanted free-fat tissue. This experiment combined correlative theory and techniques of stem cell research, genetic technology, and autologous free-fat transplantation. It may provide a new way to improve the survival of tissue undergoing autologous free-fat transplantation.
