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).

The immunohistochemical staining for CD31, CD34, and SMA showed that the pulp tissue is well vascularized. Most vessels with positive endothelium had weak CD31 expression, weak to moderate SMA expression, and moderate to strong CD34 expression.

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 · In order to test this phenomenon, we compared the labeling characteristics of goat polyclonal anti-CD31 (gP-CD31) and mouse monoclonal anti-CD31 (mM-CD31) with those of phalloidin and α-SMA...

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 …

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.

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...

Materials and methods: Immunohistochemical stainings of 125 lung cancers for VEGF, CD31 and α-smooth muscle actin (αSMA) were scored by multiplying the intensity and the frequency from 0 to 12. Results: Adenocarcinomas showed significantly higher staining scores of both VEGF and αSMA than squamous cell carcinomas did.

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).
