Fig. 5From: Enhanced renoprotective effect of GDNF-modified adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells on renal interstitial fibrosisImmunofluorescence staining of α-SMA in the renal mesenchyme and quantification revealed the induction of interstitial fibrosis after unilateral ureteral obstruction compared with the sham group. However, GDNF-AMSCs suppressed fibrotic expressions and increased PTCs density (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001)Back to article page
