Kim, 2020 [38] | To evaluate the efficacy of a cream containing human UC-MSC-CM in improving skin barrier function in individuals with atopic dermatitis (AD). | • Participants: 28 individuals (15 men and 13 women) with an average age of 24.68 ± 4.32 years. • Intervention: Application of a UC-MSC-CM cream twice daily for four weeks on both eczematous lesions and unaffected skin. | -Skin surface hydration (SCH), and Transepidermal water loss (TEWL) | SCH Increase: 15.67 AU on eczematous lesions and 14.49 AU on unaffected skin. TEWL Decrease: 15.09 g/m²/h on eczematous lesions and 3.08 g/m²/h on unaffected skin. The findings supported that MSC-CM-based cosmetic products can enhance skin barrier function and may serve as an effective treatment for AD. |
