Fig. 8From: Biobanked human foreskin epithelial cell sheets reduce inflammation and promote wound healing in a nude mouse modelFrozen ECSs promoted basal cell proliferation and increased angiogenesis in the wound areas at day 7. As shown by CD31 staining in wound areas, both fresh and frozen ECS regimens enhanced the formation of blood vessels in the skin wounds. The numbers of P63-positive basal cells indicated many more proliferating epithelial cells in the wound sites of fresh and frozen ECS-treated mice (P < 0.05). The percentage of CD68-positive cells showed less infiltration of inflammatory cells (P < 0.05). Scale bar: 50 μmBack to article page
