From: Delay of airway epithelial wound repair in COPD is associated with airflow obstruction severity

Figure 1

Wound closure assay in bronchial epithelial cells from COPD and non COPD patients. A mechanical injury was performed on confluent bronchial epithelial cell monolayer. Representative photographs at 0, 6, 12 and 18 h in a non COPD and a COPD GOLD D spirometric GOLD 3 patient (A). The mean percentage of remaining wound area in non COPD patients (n = 7), spirometric COPD GOLD 1 (n = 5), GOLD 2 (n = 5) and GOLD 3–4 patients (n = 3) are presented (B). *p < 0.05 vs non COPD.
