In vivo evaluation of functional recovery. a Schematic showing that GFP+ MVSCs (allograft) were mixed with Matrigel matrix and injected into a PLCL nerve conduit that was used to bridge a critical gap of injured nerve in Sprague-Dawley rats. b Recordable amplitude of electrophysiological depolarization in each rat following 1-month recovery. c CMAP of the sciatic nerve was measured following 1-month recovery. Recovery rate is the ratio of injured hindlimb’s CMAP to contralateral normal hindlimb’s CMAP of a rat. For CMAP recovery, the acellular group and MVSC-engrafted group showed a significant difference (*p < 0.05). Bars represent mean ± standard error. d Representative curves of CMAP (rat #1 of each group) are shown for the acellular group, the MVSC-engrafted group, and the autograft group
