Figure 3:

(A) Healthy intestinal cells organized in colonic crypts surrounded by lamina propria and separated from the submucosa by the muscularis mucosa, scale bar: 200 μm. (B) Acute mucosal inflammation or injury with infiltration of neutrophils into the mucosa and crypt epithelium, associated with crypt epithelial distortion/loss and epithelial attenuation, scale bar: 200 μm. (C) Ulcerated or eroded areas with complete epithelial loss and associated inflammation., scale bar: 200 μm.
