Fig.1

Keratinocyte wound closure was measured every 12 h, over a 36 h period, and images were taken in order to analyse wound closure. A representative images of scratch assays performed with HEKa-alone, P0SVF-conditioned media (CM) and the HEKa cells with SVF cells in transwell inserts, after 36 h are shown. All images taken at the same magnification and representative scale bars are show. B Schematic representation of the transwell insert co-culture. It should be noted that although the cells are in the same well, the microporous membrane does not allow for any cell–cell contact. C Wound closure over the 36 h period, represented as a line graph. Mean ± SEM, N = 3–5; *=p<0.05
