These findings suggest that autologous ASC transplantation can enhance skin graft survival in diabetic rats through differentiation, vasculogenesis, and secretion of growth factors such as VEGF and TGF-β3. This might represent a novel therapeutic approach in skin graft surgery for diabetic wounds.
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.
