Fig. 3From: Ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction optimized HGF-overexpressing bone marrow stem cells to repair fibrotic liver in ratsThe homing efficiency of BMSCs into the liver. (3-1 A1, B1) The number of BMSCs reaching the liver was observed under a fluorescence microscope at 2 weeks and 4 weeks (× 200). (3-1 A2, B2) The mean fluorescence intensity was displayed for quantification of the images (*p < 0.05). (3-2 A1, B1, C1, D1, E1, F1) Human HGF and F-actin staining to analyze the homing rate of BMSCs at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks, 10 weeks, and 12 weeks (× 200). (3-2 A2, B2, C2, D2, E2, F2) The mean fluorescence intensity of HGF was calculated for quantification of the BMSCs (*p < 0.05)Back to article page
