Fig. 6: Dynamics of dermal collagen formation during growth.
From: Keratinocyte-driven dermal collagen formation in the axolotl skin
a–l Changes in collagen structure from 5 to 8 cm dermis, 8 to 10 cm dermis, 10 to 12 cm dermis, and 5 to 12 cm dermis. a, d, g, j Orthogonal images from the reconstituted confocal images. b, e, h, k Histograms of DAR and DAF areas from all stacked images. c1–c3, f1–f3, i1–i3, l1–l3 Representative fiber images at the basal side of the dermis. The scale bars in c is 20 μm. All images are the same magnification. SB, SS, and SC indicate stratum baladachinum, stratum spongiosum, and Stratum compactum. The experiment confirmed five biologically independent samples at each time point. The representative histograms and images are selected and shown from the five samples. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
