- Leprosy ulcers are chronic wounds that result from nerve damage, and existing treatments struggle to promote complete healing and nerve repair, increasing the likelihood of recurring ulcers.
- In this study, human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) were injected into a mouse model of leprosy ulcers, showing promising results in wound healing and nerve regeneration.
- The treatment led to significant improvements in tissue formation, collagen production, and nerve growth, suggesting that hADSCs could be a valuable therapeutic option for managing leprosy ulcers in future clinical settings.
