Background: Diabetes is a significant factor in delayed wound healing, often associated with impaired collagen synthesis. This study aimed to investigate the effect of simultaneous injection of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) and autologous dermal fibroblasts on collagen synthesis and deposition in a diabetic mouse model of skin wounds. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, diabetic mice were divided into four groups:a group receivingBM-MSCs,a group receiving fibroblasts, a group receiving simultaneous injection ofBM-MSCs and fibroblasts,a control (Untreated group). Collagen synthesis and deposition were evaluated using Masson's trichrome staining. Results: The results showed that the group receiving simultaneous injection of BM-MSCs and fibroblasts exhibited the highest levels of collagen synthesis and deposition. This was followed by the group receiving BM-MSCs alone, then the group receiving fibroblasts alone, and finally, the control group, which showed the lowest levels of collagen. Conclusion: The simultaneous injection of BM-MSCs and autologous dermal fibroblasts can be considered an effective approach for improving skin wound healing in diabetic patients.
