Stem cell
s have shown promise with regard to the healing process of burn wounds. However, donor sites for these cells are still under investigation. The aim of this study is to review the efficacy of adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs) in accelerating wound healing of third degree burns in a mouse model.
Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) are mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that are obtained from abundant adipose tissue, adherent on plastic culture flasks, can be expanded in vitro, and have the capacity to differentiate into multiple cell lineages. Unlike bone marrow-derived MSCs, ASCs can be obtained from abundant adipose tissue by a minimally invasive procedure, which results in a high number of cells. Therefore, ASCs are promising for regenerating tissues and organs damaged by injury and diseases. This article reviews the implications of ASCs in tissue regeneration.
