Effects of ASCs or PRP on wound neovascularization on days 5, 11, and 21 after cell or PRP transplantation. Immunohistochemical staining to reveal CD31 expression on days 5, 11, and 21 found more new blood vessels in tissue from ASC plus PRP-treated mice than from mice in the other groups. In all groups, fewer new blood vessels were seen on day 21 than on days 5 and 11. Formation of new vessels in PRP-treated and control mice on day 21 was not significantly different. ×200. , , and .
