Treatment of chronic spinal injuries via the administration of mesenchymal stem cells, [12] either from adipose tissue or bone marrow, is experimental, with better results from the former method. Introduction of mesenchymal stem cells promote the microenvironment needed for axonal regrowth and reduction of inflammation caused by astrocytes ...
Though treatment of the different chronic wound types varies slightly, appropriate treatment seeks to address the problems at the root of chronic wounds, including ischemia, bacterial load, and imbalance of proteases. [14] Periwound skin issues should be assessed and their abatement included in a proposed treatment plan. [17]
