Article Synopsis
- Using biomaterials like collagen/poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (COL/P3HB) scaffolds and human amniotic membrane (HAM) enhances surgical wound healing and reduces complications.
- This study compared the effects of MSC-free and MSC-seeded COL/P3HB scaffolds versus HAM on healing after colon surgery in rats.
- Results showed that both treatments improved healing compared to controls, with MSC-seeded HAM being particularly effective in reducing inflammation and edema, highlighting the potential of these materials and stem cells in wound care.
