Mechanical properties of a dried CE. (a) Breaking strength of cryopreserved CE, dried CE, and epidermis. The breaking strengths of the cryopreserved and dried CEs did not differ significantly (n = 5). (b) Modulus of elasticity of cryopreserved CE, dried CE, and epidermis. The modulus of elasticity of the cryopreserved CE and dried CE did not differ significantly (n = 5). (c) Moisture permeability of cryopreserved CE, dried CE, and epidermis. A significant difference was not observed between the moisture permeabilities of cryopreserved CE and dried CE (n = 5). The control group represents the evaporation of the saline solution in an uncovered centrifuge tube. CE, cultured epidermis.
