Negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is widely used to improve skin wound healing and to accelerate wound bed preparation. Although NPWT has been extensively studied as a treatment for deep wounds, its effect on epithelialization of superficial dermal wounds remains unclear. To clarify the effect of NPWT on reepithelialization, we applied NPWT on split- thickness skin graft donor sites from the first postoperative day (POD) to the seventh POD. Six patients took part in the study and two samples were obtained from each. The first biopsy sample was taken at elective surgery before split-thickness skin grafting and the second one during reepithelialization on the seventh POD. In all 12 samples (eight from four NPWT patients, and four from two control patients) were collected for this study. From each sample, we carried out a comprehensive genome-wide microarray analysis. Data from patients receiving NPWT were compared groupwise with data from those not receiving NPWT.

View SamplesIn order to clarify the human response of re-epithelialization, we biopsied split-thickness skin graft donor site wounds immediately before and after harvesting, as well as during the healing process 3 and 7 days thereafter. Altogether 25 biopsies from 8 patients qualified for the study. All samples were analysed by genome-wide microarrays. Here we identified the genes associated with normal skin re-epithelialization on time-scale, and organized them by similarities according to their induction or suppression patterns during wound healing.

View SamplesTransforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-1) is the most extensively studied growth factor in dentin-pulp complex, with pleiotropic effects on pulp response and healing. Our main objective was to analyze the expression profile of pulp tissue and odontoblasts, and the effects of TGF-1 on these profiles in cultured human pulp and odontoblasts with a specific interest in the anti- and pro-inflammatory cytokines.

View SamplesKnowledge of differential gene expression between pulp and odontoblasts might give insight to the regulation of these spatially related but functionally diverse cells. Our aim was large-scale analysis of expression profiles of native human pulp tissue and odontoblasts, and search for genes expressed only in odontoblasts.

Progeny (40) from six Poll Dorset sires representing well defined extremes of EBVs for Eye Muscle Depth (low EBV EMD and high EBV EMD) were selected for analysis. The six sires were Australian industry sires with three sires representative of low EBV EMD and three representing high EBV EMD.
