POROUS POLY(LACTIC-CO-GLYCOLIC ACID) MICROSPHERE AS CELL CULTURE SUBSTRATE AND CELL TRANSPLANTATION VEHICLE - Intelligent Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine - page 364

transplanted cells. Apoptotic activity of ASCs cultured on macro-
porous PLGA microspheres was lower than that of trypsinized
ASCs. The implantation of ASCs cultured on macroporous PLGA
microspheres resulted in much more extensive adipose tissue for-
mationthantheimplantationofASCsculturedonplates,trypsinized,
and subsequently mixed with macroporous PLGA microspheres.
This method could be applied for adipose tissue augmentation or
reconstruction in plastic and reconstructive surgery.
