Interleukin-6 from Adipose-Derived Stem Cells Promotes Tissue Repair by the Increase of Cell Proliferation and Hair Follicles in Ischemia/Reperfusion-Treated Skin Flaps

Figure 6

IL-6 in ADSCs promoted flap recovery through the increased number of hair follicles in IL-6 KO mice. (a) Flap sections with or without ADSC treatment at postoperative day 5 of I/R in IL-6 KO mice were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. . (b) The rectangle boxes in (a) are magnified and shown in (b). . (c) Statistical analysis of the number of hair follicles under HPF. versus the IL-6 KO I/R group.
