Proregenerative Microenvironment Triggered by Donor Mesenchymal Stem Cells Preserves Renal Function and Structure in Mice with Severe Diabetes Mellitus

Figure 5

Administered MSCs do not massively integrate into the kidney structure. Two and eight weeks after MSC administration were localized by confocal microscopy. Representative photomicrographs of kidney sections form DM mice showing the localization of , white arrows indicate donor cells immunolabeled with anti-GFP-Alexa555 (red); cell nuclei were counterstain with DAPI (blue). Bars = 15 μm.
