This patent teaches that the hematopoietic stem cell stimulatory cytokine GM-CSF, which is clinically used today, can also be used for acceleration of wound healing when applied topically. This brings the question of what other stem cell stimulatory cytokines may be used to stimulate regeneration or healing of other tissues? The sky is the limit !!
