“…A collagenase concentration of 2 IU/mL in 50 mM Tris HCl (pH 7.4) containing 10 mM CaCl 2 was used [ 15 , 16 ]. After each 48 h, degradation solutions were removed carefully through suction and renewed [ 2 ]. After each immersion time point (4 h, 8 h, 12 h, 16 h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, 7 d, 14 d, and 21 d), samples were dried by placing them into a vacuum chamber at 37 °C for 72 h. Next, the weight and thickness of the dried samples were measured.…”
