Anti-inflammatory Effects of Crushed Cartilage and Adipose Tissue |
The ASERF Scientific Research Committee and Board of Directors are pleased to announce the following grant award: Researcher: Derek M. Steinbacher, MD Grant Award: ASERF Interim Grant Amount Awarded: $20,000 Project Name: Anti-inflammatory Effects of Crushed Cartilage and Adipose Tissue Project Summary: The primary aims of this study are to 1) detect and quantify chondroitin sulfate and other inflammatory modulating factors released from crushed septal cartilage grafts and 2) assess the potential effect of concomitant autologous fat grafting on levels of these factors. This research question has essential implications on wound healing, inflammation, and cartilage graft retention following rhinoplasty and facial reconstructive surgical procedures. |
