The effect of amnion-derived cellular cytokine solution on the epithelialization of partial-thickness donor site wounds in normal and streptozotocin-induced diabetic swine.

Abstract

In diabetic pigs, we found a significantly thicker epidermis and more cell layers and rete ridges in the ACCS-treated wounds. Healthy pigs showed more rete ridges but no difference in thickness of epidermis or number of cell layers on day 12.
