rhMG53 improves dermal wound healing in rats.
a, representative micrograph images of rat excisional wounds were taken at different time points. Wounds were created on the back skin of rats and treated with saline (top row) or rhMG53 (0.2 mg/wound, subcutaneous injection, bottom row) and three additional daily treatments. D, day. b, quantification of wound healing of rhMG53-treated rats compared with saline-treated control rats. **, p < 0.01 (n = 8/group). c, incisional wound images at different time points in rats receiving saline as a control (top row) or a subcutaneous injection of rhMG53 (bottom row). d, quantification of incisional wound healing in rats treated with rhMG53 compared with controls. **, p < 0.01 (n = 8/group).
