Figure 7

Electron photomicrography of distal stump to spinal cord. (a) Control; demyelinated axons and axons in process of demyelination () (1600x). (b) FG; damaged axons () (1600x). (c) PPN; myelinated axons (*), macrophage close to a damage axon (MA), and damaged axons () (1600x). (d) PPN + BMSCs myelinated axons (*), newly formed axons (**), some damaged axons (), and Schwann cell (SH) beside its axon and BMSCs (C) beside a Schwann cell (SH) (1600x). The images were taken with a transmission electron microscope LEO 906 E. Calibration bar 1 μm.
