Fig. 5From: Stem cells isolated from human dental pulp and amniotic fluid improve skeletal muscle histopathology in mdx/SCID miceEvaluation of angiogenesis promotion 7 days after cell injection into mdx/SCID GMs. Immunofluorescent labeling with DAPI (blue), anti-hvWill (green), and anti-hMit (red) antibodies. Green and red signals appear co-localized, showing that hDPSCs and hAFSCs are present within the endothelium of new vasa. The number of vessels positive for hvWill, calculated on three different cryosections of the six samples per experimental group, is expressed as mean ± standard deviation. Untreated samples, consisting of non-injected mdx/SCID GMs, were used as negative controls. Scale bars = 50 μm. DAPI 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole, GM gastrocnemius muscle, hAFSC human amniotic fluid stem cell, hDPSC human dental pulp stem cell, hMit human mitochondrial protein, hvWill human von Willebrand factorBack to article page
