Regeneration of rete ridges in Lanyu pig ( Sus scrofa ): Insights for human skin wound healing
10 Jan 2019
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Rete ridges are important to the mechanical function of skin in animals with minimal hair, including humans. As mice do not exhibit rete ridges, the need for a quality animal model is pertinent. Here, we develop a Lanyu pig ( Sus scrofa ) full‐thickness wound model to explore tissue regeneration because the architecture and function are similar to humans and inbred genetic variants are available. Full‐...
