Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To examine the effects of mature adipocyte-derived dedifferentiated fat (DFAT) cell transplantation on urethral tissue regeneration and sphincter function. METHODS: Sixteen female Sprague-Dawley rats underwent vaginal distension (VD) for 3 h. Subsequently, green fluorescence protein (GFP)-labeled DFAT cells (1×10(6) in 20 µL saline, DFAT group, n=8) or saline (20 µL, control group, n=8) were injected...
