Orthobiologics & Regenerative Medicine Series: Muscle Regeneration presented by presented by Saranya Wyles, MD, PhD-Regenerative Therapies in Skin Wound Healing

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Wiles discusses the potential of regenerative medicine for wound healing. She explores different types of stem cells that can be used, including embryonic stem cells, adult stem cells, umbilical cord blood cells, and induced pluripotent stem cells. Dr. Wiles also covers various skin substitutes, such as acellular options and cellular options like keratinocytes and fibroblasts. She highlights the importance of considering the specific needs of the skin, such as thermoregulation, oil gland preservation, and hair growth, when developing regenerative therapies. Dr. Wiles mentions the challenges in wound healing research, including the variability in wound healing and patient characteristics, as well as the potential of using omics technologies to better understand wound healing. She also discusses the promise of extracellular vesicles and exosomes for regenerative medicine. In conclusion, Dr. Wiles emphasizes the need for accessible and standardized regenerative therapies in order to improve wound healing outcomes.
