Skin Stem Cells in Skin Cell Therapy

Context: preclinical and clinical research has shown that stem cell therapy is a promising therapeutic option for many diseases. this article describes skin stem cells sources and their therapeutic applications. evidence acquisition: compared with conventional methods, cell therapy reduces the surgical burden for patients because it is simple and less time-consuming. skin cell therapy has been developed for variety of diseases. by isolation of the skin stem cell from the niche, in vitro expansion and transplantation of cells offers a surprising healing capacity profile. results: stem cells located in skin cells have shown interesting properties such as plasticity, transdifferentiation, and specificity. mesenchymal cells of the dermis, hypodermis, and other sources are currently being investigated to promote regeneration. conclusions: because skin stem cells are highly accessible from autologous sources and their immunological profile is unique, they are ideal for therapeutic approaches. optimization of administrative routes requires more investigation own to the lack of a standard protocol.
