Figure 8

Effect of EPCs on angiogenesis. CD34 was used as a marker of microvascular endothelial cells to evaluate the effect of EPCs on angiogenesis. CD34+ cells expression in the EPCs transplanted group (A,B) and the control group (C,D). CD34+ endothelial–like vessel-lumen structure appeared in the brain tissue (E). The number of CD34+ cells in the traumatic zone increased after EPC transplantation as compared to the control group (P < 0.05 versus the control group, 100×). Data are presented as means ± SD (F).
