The latest findings indicate the huge therapeutic potential of stem cells in
regenerative medicine, including the healing of chronic wounds. Main stem cell
types involved in wound healing process are: epidermal and dermal stem cells,
mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and
hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). In the therapy of chronic wounds, they can be
administrated either topically or using different matrix like hydrogels,
scaffolds, dermal substitutes and extracellular matrix (ECM) derivatives. Stem
cells are proven to positively influence wound healing by different direct and
indirect mechanisms including residing cells stimulation, biomolecules release,
inflammation control and ECM remodelling. MSCs are especially worth mentioning as
they can be easily derived from bone-marrow or adipose tissue. Apart from
traditional approach of administering living stem cells to wounds, new trends
have emerged in recent years. Good healing results are obtained using stem cell
secretome alone, for example exosomes or conditioned media. There are also
attempts to improve healing potential of stem cells by their co-culture with
other cell types as well as by their genetic modifications or pretreatment using
different chemicals or cell media. Moreover, stem cells have been tested for
novel therapeutic purposes like for example acute burns and have been used in
experiments on large animal models including pigs and sheep. In this review we
discuss the role of stem cells in skin wound healing acceleration. In addition,
we analyse possible new strategies of stem cells application in treatment of
chronic wounds.
