Mallory trichrome stained renal cortex sections at magnification × 400, bar 25 μm. a Control group shows thin blue collagen fibers around renal glomeruli and tubules. b Diabetic nephropathy (DN) group shows excess blue stained collagen fibers around tubules and around and within the glomeruli, and there are foci of interstitial fibrosis (arrow). c Fibroblast group shows excess collagen fibers within the glomeruli, and around tubules also foci of interstitial fibrosis (arrow) are noted. d AD-MSCs group with minimal collagen fibers around glomeruli and tubules. e Culture medium (CM) group shows minimal collagen fibers around glomeruli and tubules
