Our previous studies showed that the combination of atorvastatin (ATV) and single injection of ATV-pretreated mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) (ATV -MSCs) at 1 week post-acute myocardial infarction...

Immunohistochemistry is an integral component in the proper analysis of soft tissue tumours, and a simple panel of six markers is useful in practical triage: CD34, desmin, epithelial membrane antigen (EMA), keratin cocktail AE1/AE3, S100 protein and alpha smooth muscle actin (SMA).

Dec 24, 2022 · Cluster of differentiation 31 (CD31), phalloidin and alpha smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) have been widely applied to label the cerebral blood vessels in the past years.

Oct 1, 2023 · Association between number of CD31-positive blood vessels (mean) and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) scores (percentage of areas with score of 3 or 4) for forensic wounds (red) in comparison with experimental wounds (black) grouped as …

Results: Adenocarcinomas showed significantly higher staining scores of both VEGF and αSMA than squamous cell carcinomas did. In 42 cases of high CD31 score, five-year survival rate (87%) of patients with lung cancer showing mature tumor vessels was significantly better than that (69%) of patients with immature tumor vessels.

In the normal skin (Fig. 4A, top panels) SMA and CD31 expression is mostly limited to vessels, with SMA generally surrounding the inner CD31 + endothelium. By contrast, in KS tissue (Fig....

Dec 24, 2022 · These results indicate that gP-CD31 is more sensitive than mM-CD31 for labeling the cerebral vasculature, and is highly compatible with phalloidin and α-SMA for evaluating the cerebral vascular networks under the physiological and pathological conditions.

The aims of this study were to analyze the expression of basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2), CD31, and α-smooth muscle actin (SMA) in esophageal cancer patients and to establish their significance as indicators of disease recurrence after definitive chemoradiation (CRT).

Newly-formed blood vessels were identified by positive CD31 staining and their typical round or oval structure. ECs (CD31), smooth muscle cells (α-SMA) and cell nuclei are stained green, red...

The median immunostaining expression area (α-SMA subtraction, CD31, and CD34) and each staining intensity score (collagen I, D2-40, and PDGFR-β) were compared by using Kruskal-Wallis test. P<0.05 was considered to indicate a statistically significant difference.
