Figure Lengend Snippet: Morphological evaluation of regenerated nerves after twelve weeks. (A) Immunofluorescence images of GAP43 (green) and DAPI (blue) in cross-sections of Sham, Auto, F127DA and PLT-F127DA groups. (B) Percentage of GAP43 positive areas in regenerated nerves (n = 3, technical replicates). (C) Immunofluorescence images of CD31 (red) and DAPI (blue) in cross-sections of all groups. (D) Blood vessel density in regenerated nerves (n = 3, technical replicates). (E) Photographs of myelinated nerves and (F) density of myelinated nerve fibers (n = 3, technical replicates). (G) TEM images of regenerated nerves. Quantitative analysis of (H) myelin sheath thickness (n = 3, technical replicates), (I) numbers of myelinated sheath layers (n = 3, technical replicates), and (J) axons diameter (n = 6, technical replicates). Data are presented as means ± S.E.M. (standard error of the mean). ∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01, ns means no significance.
Article Snippet: The nuclei were stained by DAPI for 5 min. Additionally, sections were incubated with rabbit anti-CD31 antibody (1:1000, Proteintech) using the same protocol to assess angiogenesis.
