Stem cells to improve the wound healing

Abstract

The cellular therapy using Mesenchymal Stem Cells, specially its two subtypes - Bone-marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Adipose Derived Stem Cells - can benefit by virtue of the possibility of differentiating in specialized cells that secrete and suppress growing factors and cytokines necessary in the lesion niche. When attracted by the pro-inflammatory sinalization of the lesion, they act using the paracrine signaling, decreasing the inflammation, increasing the angiogenesis and the cell migration and proliferation. The development in the researches regarding the association of the application of MSCs, with reconstructive surgery practices, leads to effective future results that can bring more benefits to the clinic practice of this field. This paper has the objective of briefly reviewing the literature about the usage of MSCs and its subtypes, the ADSCs, to improve the skin cicatrization.
