Application of Hydrogel in Reconstruction Surgery: Hydrogel/Fat Graft Complex Filler for Volume Reconstruction in Critical Sized Muscle Defects

Figure 4

Comparison between isolated fat grafts under in vitro culture before and after hydrogel incorporation ((a) normal fat graft and (b) hydrogel/fat graft complex). Apoptosis cells are marked with green and living cells are marked with red fluorescent. An improvement in cell viability inside the graft can be indicated by the reduced amount of green light and observable red fluorescent signal from living cells.
