Recently, adipose tissue has been regenerated by combining scaffolds, growth factors, and/or adipose-tissue-derived stromal cells. However, the safety of growth factors and adipose-tissue-derived stromal cells has not been confirmed in cancer patients.

We herein explored the formation of adipose tissue, using the bioabsorbable implant containing CS, in rats...
