The Healing Power of Adult Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Treating Victims of Skin Burns

What Are Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) and How Do They Help in Healing?

If we think of our body as a repair shop that naturally fixes ‘its own broken parts, stem cells are the body’s repairmen. 

They can turn into different types of cells to fix specific problems. 

Mesenchymal Stem Cells are considered as super repairmen because they can turn (differentiate) into body tissues such as bone cells, cartilage cells, or fat cells, depending on what is needed. When applied to a skin burn, they become transformed into the cells needed to fix the wound.

However, Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) do more than just change into needed cells. They also release substances that help create a healing environment. They encourage other cells to grow and form new blood vessels, help reduce inflammation, and keep scars from forming too much.

For people with burns, this treatment speeds up healing, helps grow new skin and tissue, and improves the look and function of the skin after it has healed. The results from the clinical use are exciting, and hopefully many more wounds which would have festered till death can be treated effectively in unprecedented ways. Thank you very much.
