Fig. 9. Repair of incisional wounds is delayed K5ß1-null mice. Haematoxylin and Eosin staining reveals that full-thickness incisional wounds on the backs of 10 d.p.p. control mice had healed by day 3 post-injury (A; arrows indicate where the panniculus carnosus has been cut), but wounds of K5ß1-null mice are wide open at the same stage (B). By 6 days after wounding, wounds of both control and K5ß1-null mice have healed (C,D). Es, eschar; F, fatty tissue; G, granulation tissue; HE, hyperproliferative epithelium; HF, hair follicle; M, muscle. Scale bars: 200 µm in A-D.
