Figure 2From: Myostatin genetic inactivation inhibits myogenesis by muscle-derived stem cells in vitro but not when implanted in the mdx mouse muscleMyostatin genetic inactivation does not block the multipotent nonmyogenic differentiation capacity of MDSCs. Representative pictures of proliferating MDSCs treated for 2 weeks in differentiation media and subjected to immunocytochemistry for NF-70 (A) and ASMA (B) to detect marker expression of neural cells and myofibroblasts (200×). MDSC, muscle-derived stem cell; WT, wild type (muscle-derived stem cells); KO, myostatin knockout (muscle-derived stem cells); ASMA, α-smooth muscle actin.Back to article page
