Fig. 3

A Immunofluorescence staining for laminin (red), non-myogenic mesenchymal cells with CD201 (green), and nuclei with DAPI (blue). ×20 magnification. On the right, two enlarged representative areas showing CD201+ cells for each experimental group are shown. B The number of CD201+ cells/field was reported as mean ± SD for each group. The ratio between the number of CD201+ cells and the number of myofibers per field was assessed considering only the MRI parameter on STIR sequences (C) or also the T1 MRI value (D). The results were reported as mean ± SD. For all the analysis p values were assessed by one-way ANOVA followed by Kruskal–Wallis multiple comparisons post hoc test; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001.
