Abstract
⺠We studied vasculature and proteolytic activity in skin graft revascularization. ⺠Angiogenesis in the bed differed morphologically from angiogenic buds in the graft. ⺠Angiogenic buds in the graft were pruned after 72-96 hours. ⺠MT1-MMP was detected at sprout tips of in-growing vessels. ⺠MMP-2 was localized at the bed/graft interface.
