Characterizing the wound healing response that drives human epidermal maturation on transcriptome level. Homo sapiens

We collected biopsies from patients undergoing split-thickness skin graft harvesting. The first biopsy was collected from the intact skin before wounding and the second and third from the donor site wound on 14th and 21st day post-operatively. A genome-wide microarray was then executed from each sample, and the gene profiles of each time point were compared. Overall design: 12 samples from 4 patients were analyzed
