Wound healing in segments of Eucheuma alvarezii var. tambalang grown in enriched media in the laboratory can be divided into four stages based on histological and cytological changes. During the first stage, approximately 2-4 days after wounding, proteinaceous and phenolic substances concentrate on pit plugs of cells adjacent to the wounded surface. In the second stage, about the sixth day, cellular extensions are produced from the pits of medullary and cortical cells of sub-wound layer. During the third stage, about the 8th day, the cellular extensions divide several times and elongate towards the surface. A new cortical or wound tissue is formed during the fourth stage beginning on the 12th day. The wound tissue is continuous with the old cortex within 3 weeks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
