Decreased scar intensity in groups treated with Col HA Lam hydrogel.

Scar formation was examined to determine the response of reactive astrocytes to Col HA Lam hydrogel transplantation. Data from groups in Col HA Lam and Col HA Lam with NPCs were combined and compared to data from the combined media and media with NPCs groups. Different morphology of the scar as well as decreased GFAP staining was seen in Col HA Lam treated groups compared to media groups. Assessment of fluorescence intensity radiating from the edge of the lesion determined that the astrocytes were less dense in close proximity to the lesion with Col HA Lam treatment compared to groups without the hydrogel present.
