Skin-derived precursors Schwann cells promoted the nerve regeneration in vivo. A Immunofluorescence staining for nNOS in cross section of penis tissues specimen. And nNOS positive neural fibers were stained red. B Immunofluorescence staining for NGF in MPG tissues section. The NGF positive areas were stained red. C, D Quantitative results of immunofluorescence results for nNOS and NGF, respectively. All the data were depicted as mean ± standard deviation from 5 animals per group. **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001; the student’s unpaired t-test was used for two-group comparisons; multiple-group comparisons were carried out by one-way ANOVA followed by the S–N-K test. nNOS: neuronal nitric oxide synthase; NGF: nerve growth factor; MPG: major pelvic ganglion
