Abstract:Background: The regeneration response of skin to mechanical stretching in vivo has been explored in reconstructive surgery for repairing large-scale deformities. The ability of skin to regenerate limits the reconstructive outcome. Here, we propose an approach in which autologous adipose-derived stem cells and mechanical stretching are combined to overcome this limitation and promote skin regeneration.Methods: This randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial screened 22 participants undergoing tissue… Show more
