Figure 11

Hypothetical schematic image that displays the investigated areas. (A) IVD; the niche regions (SNs; just lateral to the epiphyseal plate), and the annulus fibrosus (AF), AF outer region (AFo), and the potential migration route (PMR, area between niches (SN) and the IVD). In (B) KJ; the niche regions (SN) of (just lateral to the epiphyseal plate) and the articular cartilage (AC) and the potential migration route (PMR, area between niches (SN) and the AC). Detection of Fe-labeled cells in different areas is marked with blue dots.
