Figure 6

Aged MDPSCs, aged DPSCs, young MDPSCs and young DPSCs were injected into the emptied root canals. (A–L) Hematoxylin and Eosin (HE) staining. (I–L) Immunostaining with RECA1. (M–P) Odontoblast-like cells lining to the dentinal wall. (Q–T) In situ hybridization analysis with enamelysin. (U) Ratio of the regenerated area to the root canal area. Data are expressed as means ± SD of four determinations. *p<0.05. (V) Ratio of the vascularization area to the regenerated area. Data are expressed as means ± SD of four determinations. *p<0.05, **p<0.01. (W) Enamelysin positive cell number of the dentinal wall. Data are expressed as means ± SD of four determinations. *p<0.05, **p<0.01.
