<i>Ripk3</i>^-/- mice show impaired quality of wound closure.

<p>Skin samples from the wound sites of WT and <i>Ripk3</i>^-/- mice were collected at days 7 and 14 for histological evaluation by H&E staining (n = 5 mice per group). Representative images of H&E stained skin sections (40×magnification) from day 7 (A, B) and day 14 (C, D) wounds from WT (A, C) and <i>Ripk3</i>^-/- (B, D) mice are shown. Angiogenic sites are depicted by arrows; ep, new epithelium; wb, wound bed. Scale bar = 500 μm.
