From: Macrophages are necessary for skin regeneration during tissue expansion
The number of skin macrophages maintained in the high level during a mechanical stretch. a Skin sections were stained with anti-CD68 (red) to visualize macrophages in expanded and non-expanded skin at day 7, day 14 and day 35. b Normal skin sections stained with anti-CD68. c The total number of macrophages in the skin was quantified on 3 sections of 5–6 rats per time point. The expanded skin had more total macrophages than the non-expanded skin. Data represent mean ± SD. **p ≤ 0.01; and ****p ≤ 0.0001
