(a) Skin injury, ICG labelled WJMSCs (ICG +/−), seeded onto decellularized amniotic membrane scaffold grafted over the site of injury. (b) ICG far-red fluorescence signal quantification from noninvasive time course imaging of ICG labelled cells that were tracked by noninvasive optical imaging on day 1, day 3, day 6, day 9, and day 12 following skin injury in SCID mice.
