Platelet-rich plasma enhances adipose-derived stem cell-mediated angiogenesis in a mouse ischemic hindlimb model

Figure 7 Histological staining of muscle sections. A: The capillary densities of the PRP groups were higher than those of the control and FBS groups; B: We used CD31 stained sections to identify capillary numbers under microscopy. Capillary density was determined by measuring capillary numbers/mm². The 5% PRP, 7.5% PRP, and human umbilical vein endothelial cell groups had better results than the FBS group. Data are expressed as means ± standard deviation. ^aP < 0.01 vs 10% FBS group. PRP: Platelet-rich plasma; FBS: Fetal bovine serum; ADSC: Adipose-derived stem cell; HUVEC: Human umbilical vein endothelial cell.
