The novel primary wound dressings reduce myofibroblast formation in human mesenchymal stem cells. Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells were cultured with or without temporary wound dressings in the presence of TGFβ (5 ng/mL) for 5 days. Cells were then fixed and stained with AlexaFluor 594–conjugated phalloidin (yellow, binds and stains filamentous actin) and DAPI (blue, binds nucleic acids and stains cell nuclei) for fluorescence imaging. (a) Vehicle-treated cells; (b) TGFβ-treated cells; (c) TGFβ with dressing C; and (d) TGFβ with dressing A. Original magnification ×200.
