Paracrine effects of adipose-derived stem cells on keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts.

Background: Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) are mesenchymal stem cells that have recently been applied to tissue repair and regeneration. Keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts play key roles in cutaneous wound healing.

Objective: We investigated the paracrine effects of ASCs on HaCaT cells (i.
