A bright future for lower extremity ulcer treatment

Tissue engineering of composite bone marrow MSCs offers promising prospects for the treatment of chronic ulcers of the lower extremities. The method was to construct tissue-engineered skin using a tissue engineering approach with bovine collagen as a scaffold and autologous MSCs (composite bone marrow MSCs) as seed cells. The results were: the constructed tissue-engineered dermis with composite bone marrow MSCs was transplanted, which improved the healing speed and obtained a more desirable wound healing effect, providing a new therapeutic idea for the clinical treatment of chronic ulcers of lower extremities.
