Percentage of live HDFs within the outer, middle and core regions of plastic-compressed collagen constructs. Data obtained using live/dead staining over a 10-day period. Increase in cellular viability in the outer region, and decrease in the middle and core regions, were statistically significant over the 10-day time period. No significant difference in cell viability in the outer segment over the first 3 days, significance only observed from day 5 onwards. Data are based on three independent experiments/repeats. Includes error bars for standard error.
