Extended Data Fig. 5: Proliferation and apoptosis of the wound cells.

a,b, Quantification of proliferation marker Ki67+ cells in the dermis (a) and the epidermis (b) of day 5 (D5) wounds. c, Quantification of apoptosis marker active Caspase-3+ cells in the dermis of D5 wounds. d,e, Quantification of proliferation marker Ki67+ cells in the dermis (d) and the epidermis (e) of day 10 (D10) wounds. f, Quantification of apoptosis marker active Caspase-3+ cells in the dermis of D10 wounds. Values represent the mean and the standard deviation (n = 10 in a and b; n = 7 in c and f; n = 10 for TD Only, 8 for No Strain and 10 for Strain in d; n = 10 for TD Only, 8 for No Strain and 8 for Strain in e; independent samples). Statistical significance and p values are determined by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison test; ns, not significant.
