We applaud the use of stem cells in our Veteran’s wound care. Reducing the amount of pain that our Veterans experience will lessen their need for pain medications including opioids. Thanks to forward thinking by our legislators, our Veterans can now take FULL advantage of stem cell technology in treating wounds. The DOD and VA healthcare systems are approved to use stem cell treatments for many treatments, one of which is to expedite wound healing and lessen the amount of time our Veterans spend in pain.
Researchers at the Université libre de Bruxelles, ULB define for the first time the changes in the stem cell dynamics that contribute to wound healing. One of the key questions in biology is to identify how tissues are repaired after trauma and understand how stem cells migrate, proliferate, and differentiate to repair tissue damage.
