Background: Our previous study proved that Salvia miltiorrhiza could enhance fat graft survival by promoting adipogenesis. However, the effect of salvianolic acid B (Sal-B), the most abundant and bioactive water-soluble compound in Salvia miltiorrhiza, on fat graft survival has not yet been investigated.
Objective: This study aims to investigate whether salvianolic acid B could improve fat graft survival and promote preadipocyte differentiation.
