The fibroblast nature of cells was confirmed by immune-staining and flow cytometry.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 8pt;"&gt;RESULTS:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span class="abstractChar"&gt; The mean of improvement for this procedure at the 6 month follow up was 41%.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 8pt;"&gt;CONCLUSIONS:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span class="abstractChar"&gt; In conclusion autologous fibroblast transplantation can be an effective procedure for correction of wrinkles and atrophic scars.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;KEYWORDS: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span class="abstractChar"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;Soft Tissue Augmentation, Fibroblast, Wrinkle&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt; &lt;w:WordDocument&gt; &lt;w:View&gt;Normal&lt;/w:View&gt; &lt;w:Zoom&gt;0&lt;/w:Zoom&gt; &lt;w:PunctuationKerning /&gt; &lt;w:ValidateAgainstSchemas /&gt; &lt;w:SaveIfXMLInvalid&gt;false&lt;/w:SaveIfXMLInvalid&gt; &lt;w:IgnoreMixedContent&gt;false&lt;/w:IgnoreMixedContent&gt; &lt;w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText&gt;false&lt;/w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText&gt; &lt;w:Compatibility&gt; &lt;w:BreakWrappedTables /&gt; &lt;w:SnapToGridInCell /&gt; &lt;w:WrapTextWithPunct /&gt; &lt;w:UseAsianBreakRules /&gt; &lt;w:DontGrowAutofit /&gt; &lt;/w:Compatibility&gt; &lt;w:BrowserLevel&gt;MicrosoftInternetExplorer4&lt;/w:BrowserLevel&gt; &lt;/w:WordDocument&gt; &lt;/xml&gt;&lt;![endif]--&gt;&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt; &lt;w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" LatentStyleCount="156"&gt; &lt;/w:LatentStyles&gt; &lt;/xml&gt;&lt;![endif]--&gt; &lt;!--[endif]--&gt;</abstract><web_url>http://jrms.mui.ac.ir/index.php/jrms/article/view/3908</web_url><pdf_url>http://jrms.mui.ac.ir/index.php/jrms/article/download/3908/1963</pdf_url></Article></Articles>
