An Advanced Mouse Model for Human Skin Wound Healing

Abstract

Here we report a model for studying wound repair based on skin regenerated from human tissue culture-expanded cells. The reconstituted skin (hRSK) responds to injury similar to that of intact human skin, and its constituent cells contribute to the healing process. As we have demonstrrated that hRSK composed of GFP-labelled cells also heals "normally", we believe this model will be useful in analyzing the wound repair process using genetically modified human cells.
