Motility effect of HGF/SF on hVW-MSCs. Representative Crystal Violet and SEM images of (a) untreated (hVW-MSCs) and (b) HGF/SF- (10 ng/mL) treated hVW-MSCs migrated through an 8 μm porous membrane adhering to the migration surface. The cell-seeding surface analysis showed that the chemotactic HGF/SF facilitated the migration of many hVW-MSCs. Histological and SEM images: scale bars = 50 μm.
