Figure 3: The MP-PU membrane controlled water loss at a suitable level which enhanced gel contraction and cell proliferation.

(a) Residue of the culture medium in the FPCL model, (b) number of fibroblasts, (c) FPCL models for the collagen contraction assay and (d) rate of contraction. The residue of culture medium in the MP-PU group was 0.01 g, and its rate of contraction was larger than that of the HP and ELP groups. The values were calculated as the mean ± SD (n = 5), **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05. (e) Residue of the culture medium in the HaCat three-dimensional culture model and (f) the number of HaCat cells. Cell numbers in the MP group were greater than those in the EHP and the HP groups. The values were calculated as the mean ± SD (n = 5), *p < 0.05.
