Figure 2:

Progressive closure of a 1 mm penetrating full thickness cut (keratotomy) of the cornea. (A) Representative photograph at 1 week in a WT cornea. (B) Representative photographs show delayed wound closure in the absence of collagen XII. (C) Denser scar formation in the absence of collagen XII. (D) Larger immature wound developing in the absence of collagen XII. Two tailed Mann Whitney test, *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01.
