Figure 2. Effects of TSP-2 knockout on peri-graft fibrosis.

Figure 2

(A) Grafted cardiomyocytes (arrowheads) in WT hearts elicit a vigorous collagen scar response compared to TSP-2 KO mice (B), which generate much less fibrosis. (Bars=50 μm). There are 4.5-fold and 7-fold differences (C) in scar area (outlined in yellow) and thickness (measured in blue), respectively, between WT and TSP-2 KO mice (* p<0.05).
