Fig. 5From: Preconditioning of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells by tetramethylpyrazine enhances cell migration and improves functional recovery after focal cerebral ischemia in ratsBMSCs preconditioned with TMP enhances BMSCs homing into the ischemic brain region. a BMSCs that were labeled by BrdU (red) and nuclei labeled with DAPI (blue) were observed at the lesion site after MCAO. b Quantification of migrated BMSCs. Bars, 100 μm. Values are mean ± SD. *P < 0.01 vs. BMSCs. #P < 0.01 vs. TMP.
