Effect on skin wound healing |
Neutralising TGF-beta 1: reduced the monocyte and macrophage profile, neovascularisation, fibronectin, collagen III and collagen I deposition in the early stages of wound healing; improved the architecture of the neodermis to resemble that of normal dermis and reduced scarring; effect was stronger when comined with TG-beta 2 neutralization; Protein treatment: more extracellular matrix deposition in the early stages of wound healing but did not differ from control wounds in the final quality of scarring |
