Strategies for Constructing Tissue-Engineered Fat for Soft Tissue Regeneration

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Background: Repairing soft tissue defects caused by inflammation, tumors, and trauma remains a major challenge for surgeons. Adipose tissue engineering (ATE) provides a promising way to solve this problem.


Methods: This review summarizes the current ATE strategies for soft tissue reconstruction, and introduces potential construction methods for ATE.


Results: Scaffold-based and scaffold-free strategies are the two main approaches in ATE. Although several of these methods have been effective clinically, both scaffold-based and scaffold-free strategies have limitations. The third strategy is a synergistic tissue engineering strategy and combines the advantages of scaffold-based and scaffold-free strategies.


Conclusion: Personalized construction, stable survival of reconstructed tissues and functional recovery of organs are future goals of building tissue-engineered fat for ATE.
