Figure 3.

Impact of LPC surgery on mice subjected to running wheel. (A) Workflow and representative eriochrome cyanine-stained sections with lesion in the ventrolateral white matter delineated by dashed lines. Figure was drawn using BioRender. (B) Representative images of LPC lesion (left) and contralateral normal appearing white matter (right) 4 days post injury stained for mature oligodendrocytes (CC1) in red, OPCs (PDGFRα) in green, oligodendrocyte lineage cells (OLIG2) in white, and DNA (DAPI) in blue. (C) Representative images of LPC lesion 4 days post injury stained for myelin and myelin debris (MBP) in red, axons (NFH) in green, and astrocytes (GFAP) in white, and DNA (DAPI) in blue. In both (B) and (C), the lesion is outlined by the irregular dashed line while the non-involved contralateral site is denoted by the rectangle dashed line. Scale bar represents 100 μm.
