FIGURE 6.
Photomicrographs of Cx43 immunostaining (A) of ASC cultures in basal medium (CTRL), in OEC-CM or in SC-CM. Flow cytometry data are shown in (B). Data were collected after 24 h (upper row) and after 7 days (lower row). Immunoreactivity was evident already in control ASCs and further increased following OEC-CM or SC-CM treatment. ASC, adipose-derived stem cell; OEC-CM, conditioned medium from olfactory ensheathing cells; SC-CM, conditioned medium from Schwann cells. Magnification: 40×; Scale bars: 50 μm.
