Nervonic acid improves fat transplantation by promoting adipogenesis and angiogenesis.

ABSTRACT: Adipose tissue engraftment has become a promising strategy in the field of regenerative surgery; however, there are notable challenges associated with it, such as resorption of 50‑90% of the transplanted fat or cyst formation due to fat necrosis after fat transplantation. Therefore, identifying novel materials or methods to improve the engraftment efficiency is crucial. The present study investigated the effects of nervonic acid (NA), a monounsaturated very long‑chain fatty acid, on adipogenesis and fat transplantation, as well as its underlying mechanisms. To assess this, NA was used to treat cells during adipogenesis in vitro, and the expression levels of markers, including PPARγ and CEBPα, and signaling molecules were detected through reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR and we
