Fetal cells may hold key to healing chronic wounds

NCT ID NCT06031714

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study looks at fetal cells that remain in a mother's blood after pregnancy, called fetal microchimeric cells, in women with chronic skin ulcers like venous or diabetic ulcers. Researchers will analyze these cells' genetic activity to see if they might help with wound healing. The goal is to gather information that could lead to future treatments, not to test a therapy now.
