Morphology of skin-derived precursors, skin-derived precursors Schwann cells, primary Schwann cells and fibroblasts. A SKPs grew as spheres after 1 week’s incubation. B After 2 weeks of differentiation in Schwann cell medium, cells presented a bipolar morphology of Schwann cells and arranged in parallel arrays. C SKP-SCs were stained for SC marker S100β(green), GFAP(red) and MBP(red). Nuclei were stained for DAPI(blue). D Primary SCs were stained for SC marker S100β(green). Nuclei were stained for DAPI(blue). E Fibroblasts were stained for fibroblasts marker Vimentin(red). Nuclei were stained for DAPI(blue). SKPs: skin-derived precursors; SKP-SCs: skin-derived precursors Schwann cells; GFAP: glial fibrillary acidic protein; MBP: myelin basic protein; SCs: Schwann cells
