Therapeutic effects of menstrual blood-derived endometrial stem cells on mouse models of streptozotocin-induced type 1 diabetes

Figure 5 Morphological differences in the spleens of streptozotocin-induced type 1 diabetes mice after mesenchymal stem cell transplantation. A and B: Mesenchymal stem cell treatment did not significantly increase the spleen weights or spleen indexes in streptozotocin-induced type 1 diabetes mice; C: Morphological changes in the spleens of mice were examined by hematoxylin and eosin staining. The images in the left column provide a full view of spleens, and the images in the right column are locally magnified. ^aP < 0.05; ^bP < 0.01; ^cP < 0.001. MSC: Mesenchymal stem cell; UcMSC: Umbilical cord-derived MSC; MenSC: Menstrual blood-derived endometrial stem cells.
