homeostasis/metabolism
• at days 3, 5, and 7, mice exhibit delayed wound closure with decreased vascular density at the wound compared with similarly treated wild-type mice
• during wound healing, mice exhibit reduced wound contraction and myofibroblast formation compared with similarly treated wild-type mice
• however, vascular density at the wound recovers by day 14

cellular
• in unstimulated or TGF-beta1-stimulated dermal fibroblasts compared with similarly treated wild-type fibroblasts
|
cardiovascular system
• vascular density is decreased at healing wounds compared to in similarly treated wild-type mice
