Neurotrophic effects of dental pulp stem cells in repair of peripheral nerve after crush injury

Figure 5 Hematoxylin & eosin staining and Masson staining of cross-sections of muscle fibers showed that neural-induced dental pulp stem cells could alleviate muscle atrophy. A: The degree of muscle atrophy in the neural-induced dental pulp stem cells (N-DPSC) group was significantly improved, as shown by the larger area ratio of well-organized muscle fibers compared with those of the control and DPSC groups; B: Histograms presenting the percentage of area of muscle fiber. ^bP < 0.01. H&E: Hematoxylin & eosin staining; DPSC: Dental pulp stem cells.
