- Sections were scored from light (+), moderate (++) or intense (+++) based on relative intensity of the blue coloration in the MT stained sections (for collagen evaluation), the relative density of fibroblast cells and blood capillaries in the H&E stained sections (for fibroblast proliferation and angiogenesis) and the complete formation of epidermis in the H&E stained sections (for epithelization).
