Fig. 8: Analysis of the DRGs (n = 8, biological replicates) and SCs (n = 9, biological replicates).

A Overview of an entire DRG cross section (thick dashed line). The individual pseudounipolar cell bodies labeled with FB, as well as their nuclei, are discernible. The asterisk (*) and thin dashed line mark the fibers of the dorsal root. B A single-cell body. The nucleus, as well as the nucleolus, are clearly visible. The soma appears blue due to labeling with FB. Individual RBs can be seen in red, indicating tracer uptake via fibers reinnervating the graft. C, D Overview of the DRG and SC cell counts for each retrograde tracer (FB, RB) and the resulting DL (presented as mean and standard deviation). (DRG dorsal root ganglion, SC spinal cord, FB fast blue, RB Red RetrobeadsTM, DL double-labeled).
