Abstract: The authors have demonstrated the ability of cord blood–derived unrestricted somatic stem cells (USSCs) and gelatin-modified PHBV scaffold to promote skin regeneration. The scaffolds were designed by electrospinning method and evaluated by different analyses. Results of physical and mechanical analyses also were shown a good resilience as a skin graft. In animal model; all groups excluding the control group exhibited the most pronounced effect on wound closure, with the statistically significant improvement in wound healing being seen at post-operative day 21. Thus, the grafting of nanofibrous scaffold loaded with USSC showed better results during the healing process of skin defects in rat models.
