techniques [16]; moreover, in this developing
matter, the regulations on cell manipulations can
differ between countries, thus limiting the comparability between different clinical studies.
Clinical applications of cell therapy increased
over the latest decades, following a surging number of types and qualities of cell lines studied.
Stem cells are currently used in numerous medical branches, including neurology, cardiology,
hematology, and plastic surgery [15–17].
This chapter is aimed at presenting a brief
synopsis of clinical experimentations regarding
cell therapy in the management of ulcers.
22.2 Cells Suitable forCell
Therapy
Stem cells are undifferentiated, self-renewal,
clonal cells able to differentiate into multiple cell
lines. They can be found in every stage of life
(embryonic, fetal, and adult) and can be classied based on their differentiation grade and thus
their ability to generate multiple cell types [18];
totipotent cells are the least differentiated cells,
and they are capable of forming both embryonic
and extraembryonic tissues, and pluripotent cells
can give rise to cells from all of the three germ
layers (endoderm, ectoderm, and mesoderm),
multipotent cells can only generate cells proper
of a single germ layer, and nally oligopotent
cells are the most similar to adult cells and are
able to form limited cell types of a tissue. In adult
life, stem cells can be found in differentiated tissues and organs, playing a key role to repair the
injury in case of tissue damage, as well as regularly proliferating in certain tissues—for instance,
skin, bone marrow, or liver—to supplement cells
during normal cellular turnover [19, 20].
22.2.1 Pluripotent Stem Cells
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are
recently described as stem cells generated via
genetic reprogramming from broblasts using
dened retroviral transcription factors [18, 21].
iPSCs were shown to maintain the ability to generate cell lines from each of the three germ layers, a characteristic proper of PSCs [22].
Compared to allogenic stem cell transplantation,
using iPSCs technology permits to harvest the
patient’s own somatic cells, reprograming them
to obtain iPSCs, and then expanding them to treat
the same patient with autologous pluripotent
stem cell transplantation, thereby reducing the
need for immunoprotected regimens when compared to allogenic stem cell transplantation [23].
Along with their great potential, iPSCs are
reported to be genetically instable, thus at risk of
tumor generation; the main focus of current clinical experimentations is the development of safety
protocols to increase genomic stability [24].
Despite these issues and complexity, iPSCs
derived from somatic endothelial cells showed
remarkable results in murine models compared to
human umbilical vein endothelial cells
(HUVECs) or somatic endothelial cells from the
same type in terms of revascularization capacity
and lymph-vasculogenesis and lymphangiogenesis [25, 26].
22.2.2 Embryonic
andExtraembryonic Stem
Cells
Placental stem cells (PSCs) and Umbilical
cord stem cells (UC-MSCs) are extraembry-
onic stem cells capable of high proliferation and
differentiation properties due to signicant
telomerase expression. These characteristics
permit rapid culture and thus large quantities
available compared to adult tissue-derived
MSC. Moreover, UC-MSCs are at low risk of
graft rejection in case of allogenic stem cell
transplant, thanks to anti-inammatory and
immunomodulating properties [27]. PSCs also
showed promising results in rats and mice in
terms of clinical improvement of wound healing
and laboratory ndings of higher levels of integrin β1, integrin β3, and a decrease in ICAM
expression compared to controls after intradermal injection [28, 29].

22.2.3 Adult Stem Cells
As mentioned before, it is well known that several adult tissues have the ability to repair damaged structures and cells autonomously. Renewal
of adult tissue cell lines is possible thanks to
adult stem cells, also known as progenitor cells.
The differentiation potential of adult SCs was
once assumed to be strictly limited to the same
specialized cell lines found in the tissue of origin
(i.e., bone marrow, skin, and liver). This belief
initially extinguished the enthusiasm for the use
of these cells in treatment and therapy. During the
past few years, however, several studies have
shown the potential of adult SCs to proliferate
and differentiate into new cellular identities,
thanks to the expression of markers of multipotency previously seen in pregastrulation embryonic cells [19]. This capability is known as stem
cell plasticity, a nding that has fueled the development of numerous studies on the use of adult
stem cells in regenerative medicine. Several adult
stem cell types have been studied for wound healing because of their capacity to improve vascularization not only differentiating into vascular
cells but also thanks to their paracrine effects and
immune response modulation properties.
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are one of
the most studied stem cell types in cell therapy.
MSCs give rise to all skeletal tissues, as they are
multipotent, self-renewing, post-natal cells found
in adult tissues (i.e., adipose tissue, dental pulp
and gingiva, blood and bone marrow, cartilage,
synovium, and periosteum) and both embryonic
and extraembryonic tissues (that include the
umbilical cord, amniotic uid, and placenta)
[30]. In particular, their role in wound healing
seems to be related more to the production of
various growth factors and cytokines that are fundamental for inducing cell proliferation and
migration; furthermore, these cells are able to
control inammation during skin regeneration.
Importantly, MSCs secrete VEGF, thereby stimulating the angiogenic process [14]. Underlying
the importance and power of cell therapy, in
recent years MSCs were found to be both decient and defective in animals and patients with
diabetes or chronic wounds. These ndings cor-
roborate the importance of a direct delivery of
healthy functional MSCs to overcome this deciency and achieve a proper wound healing [10].
Among MSCs, bone marrow-derived mes-
enchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are promising
cells for wound healing, thanks to their plasticity
and morphological characteristics. BMSCs are
adult multipotent stem cells able to proliferate
expressing neuroectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm characteristics in vitro [31]. These cells
showed good wound healing potential in fullthickness ulcers, showing smaller wound size,
higher blood vessel density, and reduced inammation after treatment in a study on rat model by
An etal. [32].
Human adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs or
ADSCs) are another fundamental type of MSCs.
Since the adipose tissue is an easily accessible
autologous source, these cells are widely used in
cell therapy. Most often, cells are isolated from
the so-called stromal vascular fraction (SVF),
which is obtained by collagenase-mediated
digestion of the adipose tissue. The SVF contains
multiple cell populations, including stem cells
(ADSCs and hematopoietic stem cells) and
mature cells (broblasts, myoblasts, endothelial
cells, pericytes, and blood cells), in addition to
growth factors and cytokines [14]. The therapeutic potential of the SVF was tested in animal
models of difcult wounds and resulted in accelerated wound healing through increased broblast proliferation, vascularization, and reduced
inammation [33, 34].
22.3 Evidence onApplicability
ofCell Therapy inUlcer
Management
Several clinical trials have been performed on
autologous cell-based therapy. The application of
isolated and cultured multipotent cells to the
wound bed is a critical step, as cells tend to be
rapidly washed out. Thus, the use of an appropriate scaffold to support cell seeding and engraftment is recommended.
The use of commercial biocompatible scaffolds or dermal substitutes in regenerative medi-

cine has been widely investigated, and several
research groups are currently developing new
biomaterials. A relatively new eld of study
involves the combination of scaffolds and cells to
support revascularization [35, 36]. The main cell
types used in this setting are keratinocytes, broblasts, and ADSCs.
In a phase I clinical trial, Meuli demonstrated that an hydrogel seeded with autologous keratinocytes isolated from pediatric
patients can be used safely [37]. More recently,
Carstens etal. demonstrated the safety and the
efficacy of the treatment of chronic diabetic
foot ulcers with adipose-derived SVF cell
injections [38].
The ADSCs contained in SVF fraction represent one of the most employed adult stem cell
therapy due to their multipotency and the use of
this stem cell population showed to have promising potential because of the yield of their MSCs,
which is 40x higher than that of BMSc, and their
ability to maintain their diploid karyotype for one
hundred generation of culture.
Multiple mechanisms contribute to the prohealing activity of the SVF, which include:
1. Direct differentiation of SVF cells into bro-
blasts [39], keratinocytes [40], and endothelial cells [41].
2. Production and the secretion of molecules that
induce cell proliferation, differentiation,
angiogenesis, and control the balance between
pro- and anti-inammatory factors, such as
basic broblast growth factor (bFGF), insulinlike growth factor 1 (IGF1), hepatocyte
growth factor (HGF), VEGF, transforming
growth factor beta-1 (TFGβ1), and keratinocytes growth factor (KGF).
In vivo studies mainly relied on rodent models
(except for a few rare different animal models
CIT) and demonstrated pro-angiogenic responses,
the ability to induce regeneration, muscle repair,
attenuation of scarring with antiaging effect, and
collagen deposition and organization.
The therapeutic potential of the SVF has been
described in several clinical studies focused on:
musculoskeletal conditions (joint, bone, and tendon) [42], breast reconstruction [43], chronic
myocardial ischemia [44], skin rejuvenation [45],
inammatory and immune diseases [46, 47], and
non-healing wounds of various underlying etiologies (post-traumatic, diabetic, systemic sclerosis, perianal stulas, critical limb ischemia, and
radiodermatitis) [38, 42, 48–51].
Most of the studies deal with venous ulcers
and evaluate the effect of cell application in terms
of clinical improvement and rate of healing.

In particular, markers such as pain variation
and increase inlocal vascularization were evaluated in patients with peripheral artery disease,
using different methods, including echo-Doppler,
angiography, thermographic assessment, and
transcutaneous oximetry.
The SVF is generally collected via standard
liposuction, which entails a small incision to
inltrate a solution, and consequently lipoaspiration via cannulas connected with negative pressure systems. For this reason, clinical studies on
SVF could be biased by differences between
local protocols of preoperative site preparation
and inltration solution before fat harvesting [52,
53].
Moreover, the adipose tissue could be collected via liposuction from different body districts, as abdomen, hip, lumbar, pertrochanteric,
or inner thigh region, and anatomical differences
along with donor gender, age, body mass index,
and the presence of chronic diseases can inuence the therapeutic effect. For instance, the fat
harvested from female donors seems to have a
higher level of cytokines and growth factors due
to the hormonal effect of estrogens, whereas
older age and comorbidities negatively inuence
the potential therapeutic effect [54]. Finally, there

is no consensus on the optimal method for SVF
harvesting, although low negative pressure suction via larger cannulas seems to increase adipocyte viability compared with other liposuction
techniques [55]. The adipose tissue, harvested
both through lipoaspiration or direct excision,
necessitates further processing using either enzymatic digestion via collagenase or via mechanical cell separation.
The clinical use of SVF for the treatment of
difcult wounds is currently limited by the GMP
standards that are required. Indeed, cells must be
harvested and cultured under GMP conditions,
using GMP-grade reagents and methods. This
limits the possibility of precisely characterizing
the cells prior to their transplantation. On the
same line, the use of collagenase and centrifugation are considered a potential source of contamination and are banned in many countries, thus
representing an issue leading to a difcult FDA
approval [56, 57].
For this reason, in some countries the use of
SVF in clinical practice appears to be limited to
“tissue SVF” (tSVF), which is a less puried cell
population (as it simply derives from a mechanical separation of the SVF itself from the adipose
tissue) compared with the cellular SVF (cSVF),

22 Evidence-Based andClinical Experimentation onCell Therapy
https://t.me/medicina_free
211
which derives from enzymatic digestion and is
therefore a more selected cellular population.
In conclusion, despite the promising effect of the
SVF fraction on wound healing, several aspects
could be still optimized, such as cell isolation protocol, expansion, and administration [58]. In addition,
most of the studies performed so far show major
limitations, as none of them was blinded, with consequent lack of objective results, only a few of them
were randomized and the cohort of patients was
invariably of small size [48, 51, 59–62].

Bioinductive Dressing

23.1 Introduction
Bioactive dressings (BD) are still a topic of discussion in order to reach a proper denition. To
date, they are dened as dressings of natural or
synthetic origin capable of interfering with the
reparative process by direct or indirect mechanisms [1].Their action is extrinsic either through
the release of bioactive factors or because they
consist of materials with endogenous activity.
Among these we can include alginates, collagens, hydrocolloids, biotextiles, chitosan, chitin,
and their derivatives.
Such a broad denition means that almost all
advanced dressings can be included in this
macro-category. Interactive dressings can also be
understood as “bioactive”: by managing exudate,
they are able to reduce the inammatory process
and regulate the concentration of factors involved
in the repair process (cytokines, growth factors,
and enzymes). Calcium alginate, for example, in
contact with wound uids determines a dual
action: the release of Ca++, which acts as a cofactor in the cascade of events that determines the
activation of coagulation factor X; the absorption
of exudate operated by the bers that make up its
structure, which, acting as a scaffold, promote
the migration of broblasts and keratinocytes
(Table23.1).
Interactive dressings can be used as a substrate
for bioactive agents allowing for increasingly targeted action that takes into consideration the condition of the ulcer and the unique needs for
restoration of skin integrity.
Common characteristics of all bioactive dressings are as follows:
• Generate a moist microenvironment.
• Facilitate the restoration of normal pH
values.
• Oxygen permeability.
• Ensure optimal oxygen concentration in the
ulcer bed.
• Ensure proper uid management.
• Biodegradability.
• Biocompatibility.
• Antioxidant action.
• They often require secondary dressing.
Schematically, BDs can be divided into two
subgroups [3]:

Table 23.1 shows the main characteristics of the different dressings [2]
Types of
wound
dressings Advantages Disadvantages Highlights
Nanobers They possess a structure that
mimics ECM, making them
suitable for skin wound healing
and regeneration. They are
frequently formulated using
efcient and easily employed
electrospinning techniques.
Films and
membranes
Hydrogels They are used as potential drug
Foams and
wafers
Sponges
and
bandages
These wound dressings are
transparent, showing that the
wound-healing process can be
observed without removing
them. They also display good
mechanical performance
delivery systems in wound
dressing applications and display
other interesting properties such
as high porosity, high swelling
capacity, excellent
biocompatibility, etc.
These wound dressings exhibit
high porosity that could provide
cell growth and adhesion to
accelerate the wound-healing
process
These wound dressings also
displayed high porosity that
could offer suitable gaseous
permeation, superior cell
proliferation, migration, and
attachment for accelerated
wound-healing process.
It is not easy to produce
nanobers less than
10nm in diameter
They are not suitable for
exuding wounds due to
their inability to absorb a
large volume of
biological uids.
The biopolymer
hydrogel dressings
demonstrate poor
mechanical performance
that makes them not
compatible with human
skin
They are not suitable for
dry wounds
The very high porosity
of the polymeric sponges
or bandages can result in
high uptake of wound
exudate and high WVTR
that may cause wound
dehydration
The SEM micrographs of nanobers
loaded with bioactive agents display
bead-free morphology that mimics
ECM, making these wound
dressings appropriate for providing
an environment for cell proliferation
and adhesion to accelerate the
diabetic wound-healing process
The mechanical properties of lms
and membranes were like those of
human skin, making them skin
compatible and easily management
during diabetic wound management
The drug release proles were
controlled release of bioactive
agents from the polymeric
hydrogels, resulting in an improved
wound-healing process. The high
porosity of the hydrogels led to
good swelling capability
The WVTR experiments of foams and
wafers loaded with drugs exhibited
moderate WVTR that can provide
appropriate moisture to accelerate the
healing of diabetic wounds
Polymeric sponges and bandages
were mostly loaded with antibacterial
agents for diabetic wound treatment,
and they exhibited excellent
antibacterial activity demonstrating
that these dressings are potential
candidates for the management of
infected diabetic wounds

23.3 Drug-Loaded Wound
Dressing
This already long list is bound to grow richer,
given rapid technological advances. As is evident,
the dividing line between advanced dressings and
regenerative medicine is destined to become progressively thinner. Scholars engaged in the study
of Tissue Engineering, with the study of biomaterials (sponges, lms, hydrogels, electrospun
membranes, etc.) seek to overcome the limitations
that are often obvious in the healing process with
the goal of developing “the ideal dressing” that
can meet specic requirements such as:
• provide/ensure a moist environment at the
wound site;
• enhance epidermal migration by promoting
angiogenesis and connective tissue synthesis;
• allow gas and nutrient exchanges;
• provide protection against bacterial infection;
and,
• must be sterilizable, nontoxic, biodegradable,
and hypoallergenic.
23.3.2 Biosynthesis andDegradation
Fibroblasts are the main source of collagen. After
transcription, nascent/pre-pro-collagen is posttranslationally modied in the endoplasmic reticulum into pro-collagen by removal of the signal
peptide on the N-terminus. Hydroxylation and glycosylation of amino acid residues lead to the formation of the triple helical structure characteristic
of collagens. Supported by chaperone proteins, the
triple helical structure of pro-collagen is stabilized
for further processing and maturation in the Golgi
apparatus and assembled into secretory vesicles
that are extruded into the extracellular space, where
pro-collagen is enzymatically modied into tropocollagen. The nal assembly of collagen brils
occurs by covalent cross-linking. (Fig.23.1).
23.3.1 Collagen
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the extracellular matrix of the human body. Produced by
broblasts, it is transformed to constitute complex
morphologies [4, 5]. After initial and random depo-
sition in the constitution of granulation tissue, the
enzyme lysyl oxidase determines covalent bonds
that allow its cross-linking. The type, amount, and
organization of collagen vary in the healing wound
and determine the tensile strength of the healed
skin. Collagen III is synthesized in the early stages
of healing, which is later replaced by collagen I, the
most represented skin collagen. It plays a key role
in the stages of wound healing due to its chemotactic effect on macrophages and broblasts, the cells
most represented in the inammation, proliferation, and maturation stages of wounds [6].
There are 28 different types of collagen,
divided into brillar and non-brillar. Those most
represented in the skin are type I, II, and V among
brillar ones and type IV and XVIII among nonbrillar ones [7, 8].
