“…In the current studym the quantitative analysis of the immunohistochemical expression of type I collagen, over the time-course of wound healing showed progressive collagenization occurring from three to 21 days, but even at the end of the experimental period, it remained lower in comparison with the non-injured dermal tissues. In accordance with our data, several studies have also reported the same collagenization profile in wound healing experimental models 3,18 . At earlier phases, type I collagen fibers are scanty, thin, delicate and parallel-arranged, but as long as the healing process evolutes, the fibers become gross, thick, and display an interlaced arrangement.…”
