Figure 11From: Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells markedly attenuate brain infarct size and improve neurological function in ratsIdentification of ADMSCs in brain infarct area and differentiation into endothelial-cell phenotype. The IHF imaging (A) (400×) results showing double stains of CM-Dil and DAPI-positive cells (white arrows) in the brain infarct area. The number of these double stained cells expressed as percentage (B). The merge results of IHF (400×) showing the double stain of CM-Dil and vWF-positive cells (C) (white arrows) and bright field (D) image (800×) further confirmed the presence of these cells (white arrows). Scale bars in right lower corner represent 20 μm in (A) and (D) and 10 μm in (D).Back to article page
