Figure 7. Periostin peptide improves vascularization in the peri-infarct area.

Figure 7

An increase in CD31 positive and vWF positive endothelial cells is detected 3 months post-periostin treatment in the peri-infarcted area. Quantification reveals a significantly increase capillary density compared to control animals (P<0.05). Blue, DAPI-stained nuclei; red, alpha-sarcomeric actin; green, CD31/von-Willebrand-factor (vWf).
