In‐depth examination of hyperproliferative healing in two breeds of Sus scrofa domesticus commonly used for research

Abstract excerpt

Background: Wound healing can result in various outcomes, including hypertrophic scar (HTS). Pigs serve as models to study wound healing as their skin shares physiologic similarity with humans. Yorkshire (Yk) and Duroc (Dc) pigs have been used to mimic normal and abnormal wound healing, respectively. The reason behind this differential healing phenotype was explored here. Methods: Excisional wounds were made on...
