Biologically advanced methods • Bioengineered skin Skin equivalents may contain living cells, such as fibroblasts or keratinocytes, or both, while others are made of acellular materials or extracts of living cells. • Gene therapy The introduction of naked plasmid DNA encoding the gene for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has been reported to enhance healing and angiogenesis in selected patients with ulcers resulting from arterial insufficiency. • Stem cell therapy  Although most PSCs are derived from human embryonic research, which is the subject of some controversy, pluripotentialmesenchymal stem cells, which are the source of new connective tissue, may be present in bone marrow.
