Partial Reconstruction of Uterus Cervix in Rat by Decellularized Human Uterine Cervical Scaffold Combined with Adipose-Derived Stem Cells (ADSCs)
Figure 6
Immunohistochemistry of reconstruction of partial uterine cervical defect in rat. Immunostaining of CD31 (a–d) and Ki67 (e–h), respectively, in normal control (a, e), subtotal excision-only (b, d), decellularized scaffold (c, e), and recellularized scaffold (d, h) groups. Scale bars represent 50 μm. The CD31 positive neovascular area of the recellularized scaffold group was significantly higher than that of the normal control group (i). The normal control group was the lowest in Ki67-positive expression with a higher concentration of positive-stained cells in the luminal epithelium. The scaffold groups were all significantly higher than the other two groups, with the recellularized scaffold group being the highest. .
