Distant Mesenchymal Progenitors Contribute to Skin Wound Healing and Produce Collagen: Evidence from a Murine Fetal Microchimerism Model
1 May 2013
Abstract excerpt
The contribution of distant and/or bone marrow-derived endogenous mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) to skin wounds is controversial. Bone marrow transplantation experiments employed to address this have been largely confounded by radiation-resistant host-derived MSC populations. Gestationally-acquired fetal MSC are known to engraft in maternal bone marrow in all pregnancies and persist for decades. These fetal cells...
