Quantitative assessment of intestinal stiffness and associations with fibrosis in human inflammatory bowel disease
Fig 5
Fibrotic markers are less prevalent in representative staining of the unaffected regions of bowel than inflamed regions.
Adjacent regions of Ileum (A-D) and colon (E-H) have been labeled with H&E (A,C,E,G) and Trichrome (B,D,F,H) as indicated. Black arrows highlight collagen clustering while black stars illustrate disrupted mucosal layer in inflamed tissue compared to unaffected tissue segments. Scale bar is 100 μm.
