Stem Cell Therapies for Tissue Regeneration and Wound Healing: Strategies to Enhance Therapeutic Effectiveness

Stem cells-based therapies remain at the forefront of tissue regeneration, since they represent a unique source of cells endowed with remarkable healing potential. The therapeutic use of progenitor cells for treating chronical wounds has showed promising results in basic science research and preclinical studies. Given their extraordinary characteristics to differentiate and to release cytokines and soluble growth factors, these cells are promising therapeutic sources.
