    Every 6 months or so I like to update my list of publications which include articles, book chapters, letters to the editor, and other references.  My first co-authored paper, "The Buford Complex..." was published way back in 1994!  So far in 2025, I have 4 articles/letters that have been published so far.

    The two most prominent companies with adipose solutions in the USA right now are Lipogems and JointTechLabs.
