Quantification of axons by Bielschowsky’s silver staining4 weeks after spinal cord injury (SCI), spinal cord transverse section (× 20). Black points show axons. Control (a); SCI (b); vehicle (c), laser (d), hADSCs (e), laser+hADSCs (f) quantitative assay of axons (g). SCI led to a reduction in number of axons around damaged areas. hADSCs, laser, and laser+hADSCs were found to have protective effects on the axons and fibers. The laser provides more axon protection than hADSCs. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. ###p < 0.001 vs. control group, ***p < 0.01, vs. SCI group and vehicle, $p < 0.05, $$$p < 0.001 vs. laser group. ¥¥¥p < 0.001 vs. hADSc group
