Abstract:
In this paper we report our light and electron microscopic studies of the healing of a simple excisional lesion to the E11.5 mouse embryo hindlimb. The wounded living embryo is cultured in a roller bottle and under such conditions the lesion is completely re-covered with epithelium by 24 hr. We discuss how our studies of such a simple wound healing model may offer insight into the mechanisms of tissue repair generally.
