miR-1-Mediated Induction of Cardiogenesis in Mesenchymal Stem Cells via Downregulation of Hes-1

Figure 3

Observation of cell morphology with microscope (Original magnification 200). (a) MSCs grew as fibroblast-like or long spindle-shaped; (b) 1 day after infected with miR-1, the stem cells had no change in appearance; (c) 7 days after transfected with miR-1, the cells appearance of star or short spindle-shaped; (d)  14 days after modified with miR-1, the cells assume polygonal or short spindle-shaped most look like cardiomyocytes.
