Abstract:Stem cell therapy and skin substitutes address the stalled healing of chronic wounds in order to promote wound closure; however, the high cost and regulatory hurdles of these treatments limit patient access. A low‐cost method to induce bioactive healing has the potential to substantially improve patient care and prevent wound‐induced limb loss. A previous study reported that bioactive factors derived from apoptotic‐like mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) demonstrated anti‐inflammatory and proangiogenic effects and … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
