The Use of Human Sweat Gland–Derived Stem Cells for Enhancing Vascularization during Dermal RegenerationStem cells derived from human sweat glands were isolated, characterized, seeded in collagen scaffolds, and engrafted in a mouse full skin defect model for dermal regeneration. Results - as Journal of Investigative Dermatology reports - showed that these cells exhibit high proliferation rates and express stem cell and differentiation markers. Moreover, cells responded to angiogenic environments by increasing their migration (P<0.001) and proliferation (P<0.05) capacity and forming capillary-like structures. After seeding in the scaffolds, cells distributed homogeneously, interacting directly with the scaffold, and released bioactive molecules involved in angiogenesis, immune response, and tissue remodeling. As autologous sweat gland–derived stem cells are easy to obtain, exhibit a good proliferation capacity, and improve vascularization during dermal regeneration, there were suggested to use them for dermal regeneration in future clinical settings. |
