In vitro migration of epidermal cells in suction blisters of rat skin

R C Buck. In Vitro. 1979 Apr.

Abstract

Wounds of the external ear of the rat created by suction were carried in vitro up to 48 hr, and the growth of epidermal cells was observed by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Epidermal cells migrated on the intact basal lamina taking origin from the surrounding uninjured epidermis and from the external root sheaths of hair follicles. The time required to form a confluent layer of cells was much shorter than that observed earlier in intact blisters under in vivo conditions. This model offers promise for the further study of the migration of epithelial cells.
