Core Tip

Core Tip: Diabetic wound is a common complication of diabetes and stem cell therapy is an effective treatment for diabetic wounds. It helps improve wounds mainly by regulating inflammation and blood circulation. At present, many kinds of stem cells have been used and studied, and good results have been achieved. However, there are still problems that need to be solved. Here we discuss the current role and progress of stem cells in the treatment of diabetic wounds.
