Effects of BM-MSCs and AT-MSCs on the total number of myenteric neurons. a-d′ Neuronal cell bodies in the myenteric plexus were labelled with the pan neuronal marker anti-HuC/D antibody at 24 a-d and 72 h a′-d′ post treatment. Scale bar = 50 μm. e The total number of neuronal bodies were quantified within a 2 mm2 area of the myenteric plexus. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001, n = 4 animals/group/time point. BM-MSCs bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells, AT-MSCs adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells
