Microscopic assessment of scar tissue by Picrosirius Red staining.

<p>Sections of scar tissue from either DSCG treated mice or PBS treated mice at day 21 post-wounding were stained with picrosirius red and viewed under polarized light to detect collagen fibers. Mature collagen fibers appear red-orange and immature collagen fibers appear yellow and green. Results are representative to three independent experiments. Dot line framed areas are wounds.
