Increased CD90 expression (<i>green</i>) was observed on the activated fibroblasts in chronic pancreatitis.

Abstract

<p>(A) A representative image of pancreatitis tissue showed moderate expression of CD90 in fibroblast cells (indicated by arrows). (B) Fibroblasts around a duct (asterisk) showed distinctly strong expression of CD90 in pancreatitis. The insert is a higher magnification of the ductal area. Nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). Scale bars  = 100 µm.</p
