    AbstractBurn wounds cause complex damage to the skin. Unlike simple cuts, burns cause a graded damage at the margin of the wound and leave biochemically complex debris in the wound, two factors that complicate the process of wound healing. To develop an in vitro system for studying cellular responses to burns in whole tissue, we have applied a standardized burn wound to organ cultures of embryonic chicken skin and evaluated cellular changes in response to the burn damage. This simplified system is not subject to uncontrolled infection and does not involve angiogenesis and granulation. Thus, these cultures provide a simplified model of how cells of the dermis and epidermis in and around a burn wound respond to heat damage early in the process of healing.
