Figure 10From: Immunohistochemical study of the phenotypic change of the mesenchymal cells during portal tract maturation in normal and fibrous (ductal plate malformation) fetal liverh-Caldesmon expression in normal fetal liver. At advanced time in the remodelling stage, the arterial tunica media cells express faintly h-caldesmon (double arrow, right insert) or more strongly (single arrow, left insert) (13 WD). Whatever the stage of portal tract maturation, interstitial stromal cells are not stained.Back to article page
