In vivo wound healing performance of the cryogels. a Wound contraction for TegadermTM film, QCSG/CNT0 and QCSG/CNT4. b Photographs of wounds at 5th, 10th, and 15th day for TegadermTM film, QCSG/CNT0 and QCSG/CNT4. Scale bar: 5 mm. c Histomorphological evaluation of wound regeneration for TegadermTM film, QCSG/CNT0 and QCSG/CNT4 at 5th, 10th, and 15th day. Smooth and complete epithelium layer was presented in two cryogel groups at 10th day, differing from the wound sites in Tegaderm™ group whose epithelium layer was still incomplete and rough. The wounds in QCSG/CNT4 group had a better formation of hair follicles. All wounds were completely healed and characterized with perfect epithelization at 15th day. *P < 0.05 using Student's t-test (two-sided). Scale bar: 5 mm. Error bar indicates s.e.m. (n = 5)
