Figure 8From: Stem cell proliferation during in vitro development of the model cestode Mesocestoides corti from larva to adult wormClose proximity of mitotic figures to the inner muscle layer. Specimens were stained with DAPI (blue) and phalloidin (orange) A Sagittal section of scolex of tetrathyridium showing the dorso-ventral muscles anterior to the suckers (arrowhead). B, C, D. Close-ups of mitotic cells next to the inner muscle layer. cp, cortical parenchyma; iml, inner muscle layer; mp, medullary parenchyma; s, sucker. Arrows in all figures indicate mitotic cells. Bars represent 20 μm in A, and 10 μm in B, C and D.Back to article page
