Functional co-culture of DRG with SC-ASCs or HPL-ASCs or their conditioned medium. A DRG were co-cultured in three different conditions: directly in contact with SC-ASCs/HPL-ASCs; indirectly with SC-ASCs/HPL-ASCs; alone with the conditioned medium obtained from SC-ASCs/HPL-ASCs. B the number of the DRG at the end of the co-culture indicated a higher survival rate in the presence of HPL-ASCs compared to the corresponding condition with SC-ASCs. C the total length of the neurites for each DRG revealed that the outgrowth was directly related to the specific condition and increased in the presence of HPL-ASCs. The neurites were the shortest in the direct co-cultures, they increased in the indirect co-cultures, reaching its maximum in the conditioned medium condition (white bars: 100 μm)
