Summary
Observations revealed that cell multiplication follows a 24-hour rhythm in the epidermis adjacent to a skin wound on the rat's back. The greatest differences between the mitotic activities at different stages of wound healing (on the first, third, and fifth day of regeneration) were observed at the time when the number of cell divisions was maximal, i. e., in the early morning hours. No. 24-hour rhythm was seen in the mitotic activity of regnerating epidermis directly over the wound.
