Advances of Stem Cell Therapeutics in Cutaneous Wound Healing and Regeneration

The document reviewed the potential of stem cell therapy in enhancing cutaneous wound healing and regeneration, particularly for chronic wounds like diabetic ulcers, which traditional treatments often failed to heal effectively. Stem cells, including mesenchymal, adipose-derived, and hematopoietic stem cells, were highlighted for their roles in promoting processes such as angiogenesis, collagen deposition, and reepithelialization. Adult stem cells were preferred due to ethical concerns associated with embryonic stem cells. The document emphasized the need for further research to optimize stem cell-based therapies, noting the promising future of these therapies in regenerative medicine and their potential to reduce economic burdens associated with chronic wound care.
