The transforming growth factor (TGF)-β immunoexpression in the endometrium. In group I (control), the reaction is weak in endometrium (a). In group II (IUAs), the reaction is very strong in the endometrium (b). In group III (IUAs + estrogen), the reaction is mildly lower than that of group II (c). In group IV (IUAs + hUCMSCs-EVs), the reaction is weak in the endometrium (d). In group V (IUAs + estrogen + hUCMSCs-EVs), the reaction is very weak in the endometrium (e). Box blot of mean area percentage of TGF-β immunoexpression in all groups (f). Data are shown as mean ± SD, n = 5. Curved arrows indicate TGF-β-positive cells
