The use of microcrystalline collagen in microsurgery and its effect on anastomotic patency.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:A greater supply of tendinous tissue can be obtained through tissue engineering technology with increasing application of adult stem cells. It is well known that adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), found in abundance in adipose tissue, have the same differentiating capacity as mesenchymal stem cells yet ha...
