摘要
Rodents have robust wound healing mechanism compared to other animal species.The major mechanisms of wound healing diff er between rodents and humans.In humans,wound healing primarily depends on re-epithelialization and granulation tissue(GT)formation,whereas wound contraction is more important during rodent wound closure.In this study,we described a novel excisional wound-splinting model in mice with a new biological membrane to imitate wound healing in humans.In this model,wound contraction can be eff ectually prevented,and the extent of re-epithelialization and the amount of granulation tissue can be determined easily.Furthermore,the harvested tissues can be analyzed with diff erent methods according to the research aim.In conclusion,we have developed a biological membrane-based,novel,excisional wound-splinting model in mice that has unique advantages for wound healing research compared with the conventional animal model.
