The effect of EM/AgNPs on granulation tissue formation. Representative histological images (with H&E staining) of the granulation tissue thickness at days 3 and 7 post-surgery in the (A) Control, (B) Vaseline gauze, (C) EM, (D) EM/PD and (E) EM/AgNPs groups. The yellow double-headed arrows indicate the granulation tissue. (F) Measurement of the granulation tissue thickness at days 3 and 7 post-surgery. The values are shown as the mean ± SD (n = 5). Scale bars: 200 μm.
