FIGURE 6. Transplantation of hMSCs increases tensile strength in incisional wounds.
The mean tensile strength in N/m at day 3, 7, 21 and 80 after surgery in hMSC treated and non-treated wounds (A). Comparison of the percentage of tensile strength of the incisional wounds treated with either hMSC or untreated to uninjured skin day 3, 7, 21 and 80 after surgery (B). Results represent the mean ± SD; n = 3 rabbits *p < 0.05 hMSC treated wounds versus untreated wounds.
