Fig. 3From: Adipose-derived stem cell spheroid-laden microbial transglutaminase cross-linked gelatin hydrogel for treating diabetic periodontal wounds and craniofacial defectsGross observation of diabetic mucosal wound healing within 28 days. A Fasting plasma glucose (FBG) of ND and DB rats. B Fasting plasma glucose (FBG) of ND and DB rats. C Representative photographs of mucosal wounds. Scale bar: 2 mm. D mCHI (range 0–4). E mEHS (range 0–10). (In (A, B), significant difference compared to the same animals before diabetic induction: ***p < 0.001; in (D, E), significant difference between DB-CL and DB-AS group: *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001; significant difference between DB-CL and DB-AT group: ##p < 0.01)Back to article page
