Abstract excerpt
This study examined dermal wound healing in juvenile red Duroc pigs and determined that these animals exhibit a unique healing phenotype at multiple levels. Gross and histologic analysis revealed that full-thickness and deep dermal (1.8 mm deep) wounds both heal via formation of hypercontracted, hyperpigmented scars. Molecular analysis using reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction and porcine-specific...
