Figure 6

Presence of human stem cells in the new bone 8 weeks after surgery. Diaminobenzidine staining of cranial defects (A), (C) closed with collagen + dental pulp stem cells (DPSC) and (B), (D) closed with collagen + amniotic fluid stem cells (AFSC). Scale bar = 100 μM. Confocal images of implants obtained 8 weeks after surgery. Double fluorescence signals from 4’,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI; red) and anti-human mitochondria protein (green) antibody images: (E) collagen colonized with DPSC, (F) collagen colonized with AFSC. Triple fluorescence signals from DAPI (blue) and anti-human mitochondria protein (red) antibody images or DAPI (blue) and anti-osteocalcin (green) antibody images: (G), (I) collagen colonized with DPSC, (H), (K) collagen colonized with AFSC. Scale bar = 50 μM.
