Morphological characterization of the adipose tissue within the bioresorbable TEC at day 90 post-implantation. (a) Representative images of HE stained adipose tissue harvested from the central and peripheral parts of the flap within the bioresorbable TEC at 90 days post-implantation; (b) left Perilipin-stained section of the adipose tissue within the bioresorbable TEC. Scale bar as indicated. (right) Quantification showed that the adipose tissue within the bioresorbable TEC had a higher adipocyte content than normal fat used as control (*p < 0.05); (c) Representative photographs of healthy, well-vascularized, adipose tissue with CD31⁺ capillaries within the bioresorbable TEC. Note also the well-vascularized connective tissue above fat tissue. Blood vessel walls are stained dark brown (red stars), and lumens with some containing red blood cells are visible at higher magnification. Comparison of the number of CD31⁺ cells per mm² of fat flap within the bioresorbable TEC and without the TEC. Results are expressed as means ± SD.
