Patients with massive burns have morbidity and mortality closely related to the limited availability of donor sites. Autograft ing has been considered as a gold standard treatment for excised burn wounds. However, in patients with extensive burns , limited availablity of donor sites for harvesting skin graft may signifi cantly aff ect its utilization. Skin tissue engineering by providing a reliable skin substitute, can be considered as an optimal alternative of human skin graft s for coverage of massive burns. Th is area of expertise has been developed to repair and regenerate damaged organs using a combination of cells, biomaterials and growth factors. Nanofi bers are submicron fi brils that mimic the extracellular matrix, promoting cellular adhesion, proliferation, and migration. Polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofi bers were electrospun using standard techniques could be use as skin scaff old. Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (HAMSCs) are well-established as having the capacity to diff erentiate into cells with mesodermal, ectodermal, and endodermal characteristics; as well as a higher proliferative, adipogenic and endothelial diff erentiation potential than bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs). Th e ability to modulate immune responses, on the other hand, makes HAMSCs an important compatible stem cell source for transplantation therapy in allogeneic settings without immunorejection. Here we propose a hypothesis that HAMSCs locally delivered via PCL nanothecnologic scaff old to skin burn wound could enhance wound healing through both diff erentiation into epithelial and endothelial cells and neoangiogenesis. In order to maximize the immunological incompatibility, HAMSCs would be injected to immunocompetent Guinea pigs. Th is could represent a novel therapeutic approach and enhance burn wound healing more eff ectively
