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

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Regenerative Medicine and Plastic Surgery

Abstract

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.

Nevertheless, our current understanding regarding the mechanisms of stem cells-based therapies with regard to complex signaling cascades, environmental influences, or epigenetic modulation is still limited. Here, we present an update on stem cell applications for tissue regeneration, their limitations, specifically in the context of disease states such as aging and diabetes, and novel insights on how to overcome them.
