Structural characteristics of HSCs (TEM, 10 000 ×) (HSCs exposed to PSCs). a Lipid droplets are commonly seen in the cytoplasm in HSC on the 0 day (arrow). b Microvilli on the HSC clearly visible on the day 3(arrow). c Lipid droplets decreasing in cytoplasm; mitochondrial election density increasing and lysosomes increasing in cytoplasm in HSC (arrow). d The nuclei are malformed and the mitochondria are swelling on the day 3 (arrow). e The nuclei are irregular and microvilli on the cell membrane are increasing on the 4th day
