Abstract excerpt
Monolayers of retracted endothelial cells exhibiting wounds or zones denuded of cells were obtained from aortic explants from 10- to 12-day-old chicken embryos. Using time-lapse videomicroscopy, we investigated the sequence of events that occurred both during and after closure of the monolayer wounds. Such wound closure (re-endothelialization process) occurred 4-12 hr after removing the explants, depending on...
