Adipose-derived stem cells applied in skin diseases, wound healing and skin defects: a review
Isabelle Schneider, Maurizio Calcagni, Johanna Buschmann
Abstract
Adipose tissue presents a comparably easy source for obtaining stem cells, and more studies are increasingly investigating the therapeutic potential of adipose-derived stem cells. Wound healing, especially in chronic wounds, and treatment of skin diseases are some of the fields investigated. In this narrative review, the authors give an overview of some of the latest studies concerning wound healing as well as treatment of several skin diseases and concentrate on the different forms of application of adipose-derived stem cells.
