From: Vasculogenesis of decidua side population cells of first-trimester pregnancy
Nude mouse model ( n = 8 ) of ischemic hind limb and transplanted SP cells ( implant group n = 4 ) or PBS ( control group n = 4 ) after 21 days. The blood supply of the hind limbs changed immediately after ligation (right) compared with non-ligation (left) (A). After 24 hours, the limbs treated by ligation (left) presented necrosis of the extreme limb when compared to the non-ligated limb (right) (B). The limbs of the SP cell implant group and the control group are compared (C and D). PBS, phosphate-buffered saline; SP, side population.
