The Cotransplantation of Olfactory Ensheathing Cells with Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells Exerts Antiapoptotic Effects in Adult Rats after Spinal Cord Injury

Figure 2

Morphological features of OECs, BMSCs, and coculture cells (×200). OECs were bipolar and multipolar, woven into a net (a). OECs were seen to express p75NTR (green, b). BMSCs were compact and the shape was like spindle (c). Brdu was found to exist in the cell core (red, d). The coculture cells, OECs were identified in the cell membrane (green, e) and cell core (yellow, e) (red arrow); BMSCs were identified in the cell core (red, f) (white arrow) and not in the cell membrane (green, f).
