Fig. 5From: A small-molecule/cytokine combination enhances hematopoietic stem cell proliferation via inhibition of cell differentiationFunctional assessment of the SC cocktail-expanded CD34+ cells in NOD/SCID mice. a The presence of human cells in bone marrow 8 weeks after primary transplantation. b The presence of human cells in peripheral blood 8 weeks after primary transplantation. c The presence of human cells in bone marrow 10 weeks after secondary transplantation. Ten mice were used for each group and five additional mice receiving saline were used to subtract the background signal. Data are shown as means ± SD. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
