Fig. 8From: Regeneration of long-distance peripheral nerve defects after delayed reconstruction in healthy and diabetic rats is supported by immunomodulatory chitosan nerve guidesMorphology of macrophages cultivated on regular well grounds (WGs) or chitosan films (CFs). Representative photomicrographs on the morphological changes of macrophages cultivated either on WG (A, C, E) or CF (B, D, F). Displayed pictures indicate a strong time-dependency [e.g. at 24 h (A, B), 48 h (C, D), and 96 h (E, F)] of morphological changes of the macrophages cultivated on CFs. Scale bar represents 50 µm for all picturesBack to article page
