RESULTS |
Both fibroblasts and stratified epithelium grew well in the collagen scaffold. The composite skin adhered tightly to wounds of the mice, with obvious vascularization one week after grafting. The grafts began to merge with the wound margin at 6 post operation weeks without obvious signs of rejection. |
CONCLUSION |
Full skin loss could be repaired by composite skin formed by acellular chondrocyte collagen scaffold as a skin substitute.Reliability Assessment of Distribution Networks with Optimal Coordination of Distributed Generation, Energy Storage and Demand Management |
