In vivo observation of wound healing after SW and hADSC treatments. The wound area was measured and calculated on days 7, 14, and 21 after injury with Image-Pro Plus 6.0 software (a). The SW-immersed wounds showed a slower rate of reepithelialization and closure during the healing period on the 7th and 14th days, while the hADSC injection significantly accelerated the healing of SW-immersed wounds (b). , , and .
