As a result of errors during figure assembly, the unit on the vertical axis in Figure 2D was incorrectly labelled as “%”. The correct unit should be “mm2”.

Vascular and muscle stimulation testing of UC-MSCs and AD-MSCs in rabbits. New Zealand rabbits (n = 7) were injected with 0.5 × 106 cells/kg of UC-MSCs or AD-MSCs. The group that was injected with Ringer’s lactate served as the control. (A-F) Evaluation of vascular stimulation. Ear temperature was measured at the indicated time points (A). Analysis of the HE-stained injected ear tissues at 96 h after injection to determine the number of blood vessels per mm2 (B), blood vessel diameter (C), blood vessel area (D), percentage of lesion area (E), number of WBCs (F). (G) Representative H&E-stained sections of ear tissue. The top panels showed low-magnification views (scale bar, 50 μm), with boxed areas indicating regions enlarged below. The bottom panels (scale bar, 25 μm) presented higher-magnification views of the corresponding boxed areas. Dashed lines outlined blood vessels, and black arrows indicated infiltrating cells. (H-K) Evaluation of muscle stimulation. The muscle temperature was recorded at the indicated time points (H). HE-stained muscle samples were analyzed at 96 h after injection to measure the blood vessel diameter (I) and blood vessel area (J). Data were presented as mean ± SD; *, p < 0.05 as determined by t test.
