Abstract excerpt
There have been few studies of the inheritance of wound healing in mammals. In this study, we demonstrate that inbred strains of mice differ significantly in the rate of wound healing. Of the 20 strains tested, fast healers (MRL/MpJ-Fas(lpr) and LG/J) healed wounds four times faster than slow healers (Balb/cByJ and SJL/J). The genetic basis underlying the difference in the healing capacity was analysed using F2...
