From: In vivo tracking on longer retention of transplanted myocardin gene-modified adipose-derived stem cells to improve erectile dysfunction in diabetic rats

Myocardin prolonged the retention and enhanced the therapeutic potential of transplanted ASCs. a In vivo small animal imaging revealed the fluorescence intensities produced by luciferase incorporated into the adenoviruses, indicating the retention amount of ASCs 7 and 21 days post-transplantation. The EdU cell tracking strategy was introduced to detect the implanted ASCs, which were stained red with EdU at 7 (b, d) and 21 days (c, e). f Representative images of intracavernosal pressure (ICP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) and the △ICP (maximum ICP – basal ICP)/MAP ratio are shown in the 7 day group as well as the 21 day group of rats (g). Animals tested n = 10. ***p < 0.001
