Patent

1. (WO/2008/019434) THE USE OF GROWTH FACTORS IN A METHOD OF IMPROVING FAT-GRAFT SURVIVAL

Pub. No.: WO/2008/019434
International Application No.: PCT/AU2007/001149
Publication Date: 21.02.2008
International Filing Date: 14.08.2007

Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to the use of agents to enhance adipogenesis and to promote fat graft survival in mammalian subjects. More particularly, the present invention contemplates the use of growth factors delivered by local or sustained administration alone or in combination with a range of growth factors to enhance angiogenesis in association with adipogenesis and to promote fat graft survival to thereby improve weight maintenance and to preserve normal cellular architecture of tissue including free fat grafts in mammalian subjects. Compositions comprising the instant agents also form part of the present invention.
