Wound represents a significant socioeconomic burden for both affected individuals and as a whole healthcare system. Accordingly, stem cells have garnered attention due to their differentiation capacity and ability to aid tissue regeneration by releasing biologically active molecules, found in the cells' cultivated medium which known as conditioned medium (CM) or secretomes. This acellular approach provides a huge advantage over conventional treatment options, which are mainly used cellular treatment at wound closure.

However, toxicological data essential for the clinical application of these cells are limited. Thus, this study aimed to determine the safety of IV infusion of Wharton's Jelly derived MSCs (WJ-MSCs) in rats.

MSCs are widely sourced from various tissues and express unique properties of regenerative potential and immunomodulation. Currently, there is a growing interest in utilizing MSC for treatment of chronic diseases to overcome the drawbacks of chemical drugs.

The MetS-related chronic illnesses encompass obesity, the cardiovascular system, renal operation, hepatic function, oncology, and mortality. To perform pre-clinical research, it is imperative that these symptoms be successfully induced and optimized in lower taxonomy.

Various methods have been used for soft tissue coverage in open fractures with large skin defect. We report a case of a patient who had grade IIIC open fracture of the tibia with posterior tibial artery injury.
