Figure 2.
Accumulation of spherulous cells with electron-dense spherules at the surface 1 day post-treatment. Microscopic section (100× magnification) of 1d-samples showing that, compared to control (a), densely-stained spherulous cells accumulated at the wound (arrow) in grazed (b) and mechanical damage (c) groups. (d) TEM-image at the wound confirming that densely-stained spherulous cells correspond with spherulous cells containing electron-dense spherules (ds), with numerous electron-dense granules (g). (e) The surface of control group contained spherulous cells with electron-lucent spherules (arrowhead). (f) The surface of wounding group contained spherulous cells with electron-dense spherules (arrow).
