Adult stem cells in small animal wound healing models. Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.) Nauta, A. C., Gurtner, G. C., Longaker, M. T. 2013; 1037: 81-98

Abstract

This chapter broadly reviews the use of stem cells as a means to accelerate wound healing, focusing first on the properties of stem cells that make them attractive agents to influence repair, both alone and as vehicles for growth factor delivery. Major stem cell reservoirs are described, including adult, embryonic, and induced pluripotent cell sources, outlining the advantages and limitations of each source as wound healing agents, as well as the possible mechanisms responsible for wound healing acceleration. Finally, the chapter includes a materials and methods section that provides an in-depth description of adult tissue harvest techniques.
