This project aims to develop a new stem cell-based therapy for non-healing diabetic ulcers using a full-thickness skin defect animal model of type 2 diabetes. Bioactive cell sheets based on electrochemically aligned collagen matrix combined with ADSCs will be used to treat chronic, non-healing wounds.
