Right: Quantification analysis of the scar area in P2 AMP versus SHAM at 21 dpa. ***P < 0.001. (E) Paraffin-embedded resected P2 hearts were sectioned and immunostained for troponin-I and DAPI. Representative images at various time points during the post-AMP process demonstrate an absence of newly formed myocardial tissue. An asterisk indicates the healing area, whereas the dashed line marks the lesion border. Scale bar, 25 μm. (F) Number of proliferating CMs (DAPI+/MF-20+/BrdU+ cells) per 0.1 mm2 counted in paraffin-embedded SHAM and AMP heart sections from BrdU multiple pulse-chase experiments at the indicated dpa. Data are means ± SEM; n = 3. Only fields completely filled with cells were included in the analysis. ns, not significant. Credit:科学的进步(2018)。DOI: 10.1126 / sciadv.aao5553
