Figure 13

Images of Fe-labeled cells (blue) in investigated knee-joint (KJ) regions. Images of Fe-labeled cells (blue) from group 1 animals (2 to 3 weeks) and group 2 animals (5 to 6 weeks) after in situ Fe labeling of cells in the niche region (SN) in investigated knee joint (KJ) regions (A through D) in articular cartilage (AC). (E) in meniscus (M), (F) in potential migration route (PMR), (G) in cruciate ligament (L), (H) in the PMR region, and in (I) negative control; AC. Note the elongated migratory phenotype of cells in (G) and (H). Enlarged images of Fe-labeled cells are enclosed in corners of images. Fe-labeled cells (blue) are indicated by grey arrows. Staining: russian blue reaction (Mallory method).
