Cultured Autologous Keratinocytes in Suspension Accelerate Epithelial Maturation in an In Vivo Wound Model as Measured by Surface Electrical Capacitance

Abstract

Measuring surface electrical capacitance provides an objective and repeatable method of assessing epidermal maturation. This study indicates that the rate of epithelialization and epidermal maturation is more rapid in partial thickness epidermal skin wounds treated with cultured epithelial autograft.
