Role of mononuclear stem cells and decellularized amniotic membrane in the treatment of skin wounds in rats.

Stem cells (SC) and amniotic membrane (AM) are recognized for their beneficial impacts on the healing of cutaneous wounds. Thus, this study evaluated the capacity of tissue repair in a skin lesion rat model. Forty Wistar rats were randomized into four groups: group I - control, with full-thickness lesions on the back, without SC or AM; group II-injected SC; group III - covered by AM; group IV-injected SC and covered by AM.
