CD146⁺NG2⁻ and CD146⁺ pericyte transplantation effectively recovers capillary content and collagen remodeling after 14 days of immobilization and 14 days of remobilization. Capillary-to-fiber ratio (C:F, A), representative images of C:F for all treatment groups (B), degraded collagen based on collagen hybridizing peptide (CHP) area (C), and representative CHP images for all treatment groups (D).Scale bar 100 μm. n = 6 male mice. All values expressed as means ± SE. Post hoc analyses were performed after interaction or significant one-way ANOVA was detected. ^P < 0.05 vs. PBS IM + RE, *P < 0.05 vs. PBS. I + R, immobilization and remobilization; NG2, neural/glial antigen 2; PC, pericyte treatment.
