Fig. 5From: Balanced oral pathogenic bacteria and probiotics promoted wound healing via maintaining mesenchymal stem cell homeostasisThe balance of oral pathogenic bacteria and probiotics promoted wound healing process in mice by histopathological analysis. a, e H&E staining results showed the original length of wound in mice. The inoculation of the mixture of L. reuteri and P. gingivalis group (c, g) markedly accelerated wound healing compared to the P. gingivalis group (b, f) and untreated group (d, h). i, j Quantitative analysis of the residual length of wound after inoculation for 7 and 14 days, respectively. Scale bar 50 μm. Error bars represent SD (n = 6). Yellow dotted line, the original length of wound. Black line, the length of wound. *P ≤ 0.05; **P ≤ 0.01Back to article page
