Regenerating Salivary Glands in the Microenvironment of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

Figure 7

Distribution of AQP5 in developing SMG and regenerated SMGs (SG and iSG). AQP5 is gradually increased in the epithelial cells of SMGs in E13.5, E15.5, E17.5, and adult. AQP5 is expressed in the cell membrane of epithelial cells in iSG (20% iSG) more than that in SG. AQP5 (white) and E-cadherin (red) (a). Scale bar, 25 µm. Distribution on AQP5 in regenerated SMG (b). AQP5 (white), GFP (green), and E-cadherin (red). Scale bar, 25 µm.
