“…Various species have been used to model cutaneous wound healing and tissue repair responses, among which the most popular are the pig, rabbit, mouse, and rat ( 113 ). The type of injury (e.g., burn, incisional, and chronic), location of injury (e.g., plantar) ( 114 ), and patient factors influencing healing (e.g., immunocompetency, nutrition status, and diabetes) may influence the choice of animal model ( 115 ). Pig wound healing models have anatomical and physiological similarities that most closely recapitulate those of human skin.…”
