According to research studies, it is thought that, the use of adult stem cells may prove to be beneficial in diabetic foot ulcers. The use of stem cells helps to improve blood flow and heal chronic sores in diabetes patients who develop peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and critical limb ischemia (CLI). In the process, the adult stem cells are carefully extracted from the blood of a patient affected with CLI and injected directly into the same patient's calf muscle.
It shows that the stem cells work to replenish blood vessels in the lower legs by a process known as angiogenesis. Once these new blood vessels start restoring proper blood flow, after several weeks of injection, the patients can feel the improvement in the overall lower limb circulation, and increased healing in the diabetic foot ulcerations is also observed.
