Title: Adipose Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells In Wound Healing: A Clinical Review
Abstract: The aim of this article was to review clinical studies on the use of adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells in the treatment of chronic wounds. A search on PubMed was performed on April 30th, 2014 to identify the relevant clinical studies. We reviewed 13 articles that reported the use adipose-derived stem cells in the treatment of different types of wounds. Adipose-derived stem cells have the potential to be used in the treatment of chronic wounds. However, standard methods for isolation, storage and application of these cells are needed. New materials to transfer these stem cells to injured tissues should be investigated.
