Abstract

Excessive scar formation caused by myofibroblast aggregations is of great clinical importance during skin wound healing. Umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (uMSCs) reduced scar formation and myofibroblast accumulation in a skin-defect mouse model. A novel role of exosomal microRNAs in uMSC-mediated therapy was demonstrated, suggesting that the clinical application of uMSC-derived exosomes might represent a strategy to prevent scar formation during wound healing.
