HUVECs secrete protein factors that significantly increase proliferation and endothelial differentiation of ASCs under diabetic conditions. Injection of ischemic hindlimbs in diabetic mice with HUVEC-primed ASCs leads to enhanced angiogenesis.

Combining HDACi with low-dose paclitaxel improved cytotoxicity towards breast cancer cells and preserved hASC viability. Furthermore, enhanced wound healing was observed by improved migration in a fibroblast scratch assay. These results suggest that the addition of HDACi to taxane chemotherapy regimens may improve oncologic results and wound-healing outcomes after reconstructive surgery.
