Figure 2. Ex vivo study with adipose particles and VEGF secretion. Small (2-4 mm) and large (5-7 mm) particles were prepared from whole adipose tissue using surgical scissors and a sterile ruler. Each particle was assessed by weight to ensure consistency. Particles were submerged in sterile cell culture media in a flask and stirred continuously with a stir bar in a humidified CO2 incubator. VEGF: vascular endothelial growth factor
