Core Tip This study systematically evaluated the dose-response relationship, administration route, persistence, and mechanisms of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) in diabetic foot ulcer healing. Subcutaneous injection of 5 × 10⁵ ADSCs showed optimal efficacy with prolonged retention. Mechanistically, ADSCs restore the PI3K-AKT-mTOR-HIF-1α-VEGF pathway to improve angiogenesis and inhibit the overactivated Notch signaling pathway to reduce inflammation and enhance collagen deposition. These results provide critical insights into the optimization of ADSC-based therapies and offer a promising approach for treating chronic diabetic wounds.
