Abstract
Wound re-epithelialization is complex and imperfect. Understanding which cells are involved in this process, how they are spatially arranged, and when they contribute to wound healing is a longstanding scientific and clinical challenge. We used a recently developed fast large area multiphoton exoscope for in vivo imaging of human skin to study the process of wound healing in vivo in human skin. We monitored the re-epithelization of wounds generated by removal of the epidermis following a suction blistering procedure and identified the morphological and metabolic signatures of epidermal and dermal cells involved in the healing process.
