The histology of red-eared slider turtle skin. Sections taken from the bed margins of the wound in insulin-treated and control turtles at 28 DPW. Insulin-treated wounds show abundant collagen deposition and remodelation (a and c, arrows); control wounds show persistent inflammatory exudate and immature granulation tissue with scarce collagen deposition (b and d, arrows), Haematoxylin-eosin (a and b) and Masson’s trichrome (b and d) stains
