A Reciprocal Relationship between Cutaneous Nerves and Repairing Skin Wounds in the Developing Chick Embryo
Open accessAbstract
Various studies have suggested that the rate of adult skin healing may be in some way dependent on signals emanating from cutaneous nerves. Further, it appears that adult wounds become hyperinnervated by sensory nerves during the process of healing. In order to investigate this reciprocal relationship further, we have used a simple embryonic model to look at the effect of wounds on nerves, and conversely, the effect of nerves on wounds. We find that wounds made to the dorsum of the chick wing bud, at a stage prior to normal innervation (at E4), or soon after the normal establishment of cutaneous innervation (at E7), subtly alter the pattern of branching by perturbing developmental guidance cues, but do not cause hyperinnervation, whereas wounding at E14 does cause hyperinnervation. By creating chicks with nerveless wings, we show that from E7, wound healing in the absence of nerves is significantly impaired. These observations suggest that, from the earliest stages of skin innervation, the presence of nerves is beneficial to the healing process, but that, in contrast to neonatal and adult tissues, wound healing in the embryo and early foetus does not trigger hyperinnervation.

Chick embryo studies suggest a reciprocal positive association between nerves and wound repair, and clinical anecdotes hint that poor innervation makes for poor healing.
“Little is known about the role of nerves during skin healing, although studies in the chick embryo suggest a reciprocal positive association between nerves and wound repair (Fig. 4) (132), and several clinical anecdotes hint that poor innervation makes for poor healing.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
