Human Umbilical Cord Wharton Jelly-Derived Adult Mesenchymal Stem Cells, in Biohybrid Scaffolds, for Experimental Skin Regeneration

Figure 3

Neoformed mouse dermal annexes in DE explanted at 42 days. (a) The areas indicated in this figure, shown at higher magnification, highlight the presence of neoformation of many dermal annexes in comparison with annexes photographed in untreated skin areas of the same animals. The morphological similarity between the structures is evident, and peculiar is the area (below the hypodermis) in which these neoannexes are formed. (b) The central part of the DE, shown at higher magnification, highlights the presence of individual cells that resemble the morphology of preadipocytes; mature murine subcutaneous adipose tissue was shown for comparison.
