The Use of Adipose Derived Cells for Skin Nerve Regeneration - Short Review of Experimental Research

Abstract

Agnes S Klar, Jakub Zimoch and Thomas Biedermann

Burns and other severe skin injuries alter cutaneous perception of pain, temperature, and touch. During skin wound healing, peripheral nerve regeneration can occur from nerve endings of the wound bed, however, a functional recovery after an injury is often not sufficient due to scar formation or impaired wound healing.
