Multi-faceted enhancement of full-thickness skin wound healing by treatment with autologous micro skin tissue columns
Abstract Impaired wound healing is an immense medical challenge, and while autologous skin grafting remains the “gold-standard” therapeutic option for repairing wounds that cannot be closed by primary or secondary intention, it is limited by substantial donor site morbidity. We previously developed...
