Figure Lengend Snippet: Fluorescence microscopy images showing representative images of the 3D CMC:PVA:CHI_L-Arg structure, where a co-culture of ( C ) keratinocytes (upper face—membrane) and ( D , E ) fibroblasts (lower face—porous structure) were seeded compared to controls (( A ) Keratinocyte +Control and ( B ) Fibroblast +Control). Cells were labeled with calcein AM (viable cells, green fluorescence, left column, identified as LIVE) and ethidium homodimer (dead cells, red fluorescence, right column, identified as DEAD). Scale bar = 100 µm. Detail: schematic representation of cell therapy dermal–epidermal skin substitute (not to scale).
Article Snippet: For keratinocytes, Gold Keratinocyte Growth Basal Medium supplemented with a KGM-Gold TM Keratinocyte Single Quots TM Kit (Lonza, Morristown, NJ, USA), referred to as “complete basal keratinocyte medium”, was used.
