Myofibroblast Expression in Skin Wounds Is Enhanced by Collagen III Suppression

Figure 1

Masson’s trichrome staining of the wound in the three groups. (a) A control wound showing thick, dense, and disorganized collagen fibers (magnification 40x). (b) An experimental 100 nM nAG wound showing thin more regularly arranged collagen fibers with increased number of small blood vessels (magnification 40x). (c) An experimental 150 nM nAG wound showing faint staining with sparse thin collagen bundles and increased vascularity (magnification 40x).
