In vivo wound healing models are predictive preclinical tests for therapeutics that enhance skin repair or limit scarring. Large animals, such as swine, heal in a manner similar to humans, but testing is impractical and expensive. Experiments in mice are more economic, but may be less translatable as this species heals primarily through contraction, not by the processes of epithelialization and granulation tissue formation as seen in human wounds. Here, we describe a murine model of thermal burn injury that closely mimics human healing, resulting in a large, hypertrophic-like scar. This practical, reproducible model is ideal for testing promising wound-healing therapies, such as virus-derived growth factors and immune-modulatory proteins. |
