Excerpt

In the era of tissue-engineering the physiological process of skin graft revascularisation still remains unclear possibly accounting for repeated failures of skin substitutes to take. Therefore we developed a new in vivo animal model. The aim of this study was, to visualize the microvascular architecture during engraftment, and, by this, to gain further insights into the time course and potential vascular transformations in this process.
