The muscular layer has an impact on wound closure that in mice is mainly achieved by early contraction, while in humans it relies on keratinocyte proliferation and migration (re-epithelialization).

Certain drugs, by nonimmunological mechanisms, can cause epithelial damage by dysregulating the activity of enzymes essential for the function of keratinocytes and for keratinocyte adhesion to one another and to the basal lamina.

The obtained primary cells were then plated on 6-well tissue culture plates (Costar), precoated with coating matrix (type I collagen, Gibco BRL), cultured using a specific keratinocyte-serum-free media at low [Ca.sup.2+] concentration (<0.07 mM), and supplemented with human keratinocyte growth factors (Gibco BRL).

The reasons for this are unclear but involve lack of oxygen reaching skin cells, delayed migration of keratinocytes, decreased collagen synthesis, and also delayed growth of new blood vessels within the wound.

THE ISOLATION OF HUMAN SENESCENT CELLS BY THEIR INABILITY TO ATTACH TO FIBRONECTIN
Our results suggest that Wnt-CM can enhance the expression of ECM components and cell migration of fibroblasts and thereby accelerate wound closure and hair follicle regeneration, but it inhibits the migratory ability of keratinocytes. In contrast, [HF.sup.Wnt-CM]-CM (fibroblasts treated with Wnt-CM) can accelerate wound closure and promote keratinocyte migration; however, the number ofhair follicles did not increase compared to the control group.
