Fig. 6From: Assessing the impact of gestational age of donors on the efficacy of amniotic epithelial cell-derived extracellular vesicles in experimental bronchopulmonary dysplasiaTissue-to-air space ratio on PND 7 and 14 (n = 6). A Representative images for H&E staining (PND7). B On PND7, tissue-to-air space ratio was decreased in saline-treated injured group compared to control groups. In contrast to hAEC treatment, only term but not preterm EVs improved lung structure. C On PND14, tissue-to-air space ratio remained lower in saline-treated injured group. Term EV treatment mitigated tissue-to-air space ratio and made it comparable to hAEC treatment group and healthy control group. However, preterm EVs did not improve lung structure.
