  Fig. 1 Effects of the stem cells in the living skin equivalents (LSE) reconstruction. Sections of LSE were stained for H&E (A, B, and C), activin A (D, E, and F), integrin β1 (G, H and I; white arrows indicating basement membrane), PCNA (J, K, and L; yellow arrows indicating basal keratinocytes), and p63 (M, N and O; yellow arrows indicating basal keratinocytes). Original magnification: ×400 in (A~C) and ×200 in (D~O). Fb: fibroblast, ADSC: adipose-derived stem cell, BMSC: bone marrow mesenchymal stem, PCNA: proliferating cell nuclear antigen.
