Fig. 7From: Effects of melatonin-pretreated adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) in an animal model of spinal cord injuryDifferentiation of ADSCs and MT-ADSCs into astrocytes based on GFAP staining. A At the site of injury: the nuclei of ADSCs and MT-ADSCs labeled with DAPI; ADSCs and MT-ADSCs labeled with DiI; Astrocytes differentiation of ADSCs and MT-ADSCs labeled with GFAP. B Comparison of the number of GFAP positive cells between Vehicle (SCI + DMEM), SCI + ADSCs and SCI + MT-ADSCs groups revealed that MT-ADSCs differentiated into astrocytes more than ADSCs at the site of SCI (**P < 0.01); (Magnification: 20×)Back to article page
