Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a potential source of angiogenic factors which may promote wound healing in poorly vascularized diabetic foot ulcers. We demonstrate that MSCs of patients with diabetic foot ulcers seeded on decellularized micro-fragments transcribe and secrete angiogenic factors in amounts comparable to MSCs derived from healthy individuals.
