(A) Immunocytochemistry of the NF (green) and MBP (red) proteins in the sciatic nerve tissues on the 28th day after the injury. (B) WB analysis of the NF and MBP protein bands in the sham, PNI, and hydrogel groups. (C) Quantitative measurement of the protein band intensity of the NF and MBP proteins (n = 3) (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001).
