Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) treatment is a new promising approach for chronic wound healing, said researchers.
‘The efficacy and safety of MSC application for treatment of chronic wounds was further confirmed by several clinical studies involving human subjects which yielded similar positive results with no adverse side effects.’
Chronic or non-healing skin wounds present an ongoing challenge in advanced wound care and the current wound healing technologies remain insufficient. Furthermore, MSCs were determined to play an innate role in the wound healing process making them an obvious candidate for treatment of chronic wounds. When introduced into the wound bed, MSCs have been shown to promote fibroblast migration, stimulate extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition, facilitate wound closure, initiate re-epithelialization, enhance angiogenesis, and mitigate inflammation in preclinical animal models.
However, while MSCs appear to be a promising resource for chronic wound care, more research is required to determine the optimal cell source and route of delivery before this technology can be applied in clinical medicine.

Novel Microscopy Technique can Non-invasively Evaluate Wound Healing
Novel microscope developed looks at the different parameters that change during wound healing. This tool can help understand how skin disorders, like foot ulcers in diabetic patients and psoriasis, can be treated.
