Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation Promotes Mechanical Stretch Induced Skin Regeneration: A Randomized Phase I/II Clinical Trial

Background: Mechanical stretch, in term of skin expansion, can induce effective but limited in vivo skin regeneration for complex skin defect reconstruction. We propose a strategy to obtain regenerated skin by combining autologous stem cell transplantation with mechanical stretch. Methods: This rand...
