Melanocortin 1 receptor localization (MC1R) in uninjured human skin, early burn wounds (<1 month postinjury), and hypertrophic scars (2 years postinjury). MC1R immunostaining was absent in uninjured skin (A), whereas MC1R localized to epidermal keratinocytes and dermal stromal cells in an early burn wound (B). No MC1R immunostaining was detected in the epidermis and dermis in a hypertrophic scar 2 years after injury (C). Magnification bar = 50 µm.
