Role of Demyelination Efficiency within Acellular Nerve Scaffolds during Nerve Regeneration across Peripheral Defects

Figure 2

Characterization of residual myelin. Myelin was present in (a) raw sciatic nerve tissue, (b) hANSs, and (c) dANSs by toluidine blue staining. TEM showed that the myelin sheath was looser in (e) hANSs than (d) raw sciatic nerve tissue but remained attached to the basal lamina tube. TEM of (f) dANSs revealed no apparent myelin.
