Advances in Skin, Wound Care and Tissue Science

Wound Care and Regenerative Medicine

The field of regenerative Medicine has been focusing cutting edge innovations to heal cutaneous wounds. There are various regenerative medicine advancements being researched for the treatment of skin diseases, wounds and burns. The larger part of innovations is being produced for the treatment of ulcers connected with diabetes and chronic or complex wounds. Regenerative Medicine including cellular therapy and tissue engineering is a quickly developing field that is being examined as an option for the restoration of function in many diseases. The application of stem cells to wounds is advantageous, as stem cells have the ability to differentiate and replace the lost or damaged tissue, as well as influence multiple biological pathways at once via paracrine signaling. Stem cell biology and regenerative medicine are rapidly expanding fields. The introduction of new technology and the emergence of novel stem cell populations have allowed researchers to take a more in-depth approach to the study of specific diseases and biological processes.
