Macrophage Stimulating Factor in the Treatment of Diabetic Wounds

Human granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (rhGM-CSF), as a multifunctional haematopoietic factor, stimulates the proliferation and differentiation of haematopoietic precursor cells to granulocyte macrophages and promotes their peripheral translocation, as well as enhances phagocytosis and secretion of granulocytes and macrophages \[11\]. Since macrophages are key players in regulating the inflammatory response of wounds and promoting wound repair, rhGM-CSF is thought to potentially play a positive role in the treatment of acute and chronic wounds.
