Figure 7. — BMSF electrospun scaffolds promote re-epithelialization of ex vivo wound model. (a) Stereomicroscopic images of ex vivo wound healing models treated with BMSF electrospun scaffolds after 1 and 2 weeks. Yellow lines show the original wound boundary. Stereomicroscopic images show little discernable difference during culture. (b) Representative hematoxylin and eosin–stained wound cross sections of BMSF-assisted and -unassisted artificial wounds. Re-epithelialization is significantly more advanced at both 1 and 2 weeks in BMSF scaffold–filled wounds. Blue lines represent the original wound boundary. Red boxes show wound boundaries, which are magnified for clarity. (c) Comparison of migration of epithelial tongue after 1 and 2 weeks of ex vivo culture in wounds treated with BMSF scaffolds and those without scaffold assistance (*p < 0.05).
