Fig. 1From: Priming mesenchymal stem cells with α-synuclein enhances neuroprotective properties through induction of autophagy in Parkinsonian modelsα-Syn enhances MSC proliferation and does not alter senescence status. A Cell proliferation assay showed a significant increase in cell density of α-syn-treated MSCs compared to control MSCs in a time-dependent manner, regardless of α-syn concentration. B Quantitative RT-PCR shows that the expression levels of the senescence markers p16 and p21 do not increase after incubating for 6 h with various α-syn concentrations but increases after 24 hBack to article page
