Abstract:BACKGROUND: Diabetic patients suffer from impaired wound healing. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy represents a promising approach toward improving skin wound healing through release of soluble growth factors and cytokines that stimulate new vessel formation and modulate inflammation. Whether adipose-derived MSCs (ASCs) from type 2 diabetes donors are suitable for skin damage repair remains largely unknown. METHODS: In this study, we compared the phenotype and functionality of ASCs harvested from high fat d… Show more
