Morphological changes in paraurethral area after introduction of tissue engineering construct on the basis of adipose tissue stromal cells

Bull Exp Biol Med. 2009 Oct;148(4):719-24. doi: 10.1007/s10517-010-0801-y.

Abstract

We studied morphological changes in the paraurethral area of Wistar rats after introduction of tissue engineering constructs on the basis of multipotent mesenchymal stem cells and gelatin sponge. The tissue engineering construct containing autologous culture of the stromal fraction of the adipose tissue was most effective. After introduction of this construct we observed more rapid degradation of the construct matrix and more intensive formation of collagen fibers.
