A Response to Article “Do Mesenchymal Stem Cells Influence Keloid Recurrence?” [Response to Letter]

“…In their recent perspective, Noviantari et al 1 review our recent publication titled “Do Mesenchymal Stem Cells Influence Keloid Recurrence?” and highlight that we failed to use The International Society for Cellular Therapy (ISCT) three prerequisites before designating cells as MSCs. While we are in agreement with the ISCT criteria for the characterization of MSCs (with flow cytometry, adhesion to the plastic surface and differentiation ability), this was a challenge for us in this study.…”

“…Noviantari et al 1 also mention that they did not find any histopathological analysis. The diagnosis of keloid was made through both clinical examination and confirmed by histology of the specimens.…”
