Development and Testing of Living Skin Equivalent.
Abstract
Histology of grafts on recipient rat for up to 24 months showed that the matrix basket-weave pattern established at one month became more pronounced at one year. No hypertrophic scarring was observed in any skin-equivalent graft made although grafts of epidermis alone on a collagen bed without cells did result in scarring. Hypertrophy of the epidermis lessened between one month and one year, and at two years no hypertrophy was observed. Keywords: Isografts, Collagens, Fibroblasts, Wounds, Skin grafts, Skin(Anatomy), Skin substitutes. (kt)
