Alternatives: "synthetic injury" or "man-made wound".
A great deal of effort has been directed during the last few years towards the development of new artificial wound coverings which will meet the requirements faced in the treatment of major skin wounds.
The cells were scratched once per well with a P20 pipette tip to create an artificial wound.
At 72 h after transfection an artificial wound was created using a pipette tip after which the cells were further incubated.
