Identification of differentially expressed miRNAs associated with thermal injury in epidermal stem cells based on RNA-sequencing.

Current research indicates that epidermal stem cells (EpSCs) play an important role in promoting wound healing, but the mechanism of action of these cells during wound repair following thermal damage remains unclear. In the present study, the trypsin digestion method was used to isolate human EpSCs and the cells were incubated in a 51.5°C water tank for 35 sec to construct a thermal injury model.
