Intradermal injection of human adipose-derived stem cells accelerates skin wound healing in nude mice

Background The use of stem cells from adipose tissue or adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) in regenerative medicine could be an interesting alternative to bone marrow stem cells because they are easily accessible and available in large quantities. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential effect of ASCs on the healing of 12 mm diameter-excisional wounds (around 110 mm 2 ) in nude mice. Methods Thirty nude mice underwent surgery to...
