Figure 2
The effect of LIG on TGFβ activation in NP cells of LSI mice. (a) Representative immunostaining images of IVD sections with antibody against pSmad2/3 (brown). Hematoxylin stains the nuclei purple. (b) Quantification of pSmad2/3+ cells in (c). Each column represents the mean ± SE. n = 8 per group. vs Sham, vs LSI + Veh.
