Figure 1 A dosage of 5 × 105 adipose-derived stem cells was identified as optimal for diabetic wound repair in mice.
The treatment promoted healing through a multimodal action: Stimulating angiogenesis via the PI3K/AKT/mTOR/HIF-1α/VEGF signaling pathway, enhancing collagen I and III deposition by suppressing Notch1 expression, and facilitating immune modulation by shifting macrophages from the M1 to the M2 phenotype.
