A Novel Chitosan-Peptide System for Cartilage Tissue Engineering With Adipose-Derived Stromal Cells

This review reports that combining adipose-derived stem cells with decellularized extracellular matrix enhances tissue repair by improving scaffold biological activity and promoting angiogenesis, integration, and functional regeneration across various tissues, while addressing challenges in traditional transplantation methods.

In a rat skin wound model, this study observed that a composite dressing using chitosan hydrogel and exosomes derived from adipose mesenchymal stem cells enhanced wound healing by promoting collagen deposition, angiogenesis, and regeneration of hair follicle structures.

This study found that combining mesenchymal stromal cells from adipose tissue and hair follicles with soy protein and β-chitin scaffolds significantly reduced wound healing time and improved skin regeneration in vivo.

This study found that a chitosan, chondroitin sulfate, and hyaluronic acid scaffold improved wound healing in rats by promoting immune-stromal interactions, reducing inflammation, and supporting tissue regeneration with ~91% wound closure by day 17 compared to ~63% in controls.

This study found that incorporating cell-adhesive ligands into 3D peptide hydrogels supports the survival and osteogenic differentiation of human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells.
