Fig. 1From: Suppression of TGFβR-Smad3 pathway alleviates the syrinx induced by syringomyeliaDilation of central canal and activation of ependymal cells under syringomyelia. A Dilation of central canal at different time points of syringomyelia disease. Tunnel-like protrusions were obvious on day 14 of syringomyelia. SM, syringomyelia. DAPI, blue. Scale bar: 250 μm. B Ependymal cells lining central canal were activated. DAPI, blue; Nestin, green; Ki67, red. Scale bars: 100 μmBack to article page
