Characterization of BMSC-Exos. (a) The exosome morphology was observed by TEM. Scale bar: 50 nm. (b) Size distribution of BMSC-Exos was examined with NTA. (c) The exosomal marker proteins CD9 and CD63 of BMSC-Exos were tested by western blotting. (d) The assay of BMSC-Exos uptake by NP cells was observed by laser scanning confocal microscopy. The exosomes, cytoskeleton, and cell nucleus are displayed red, green, and blue, respectively. Scale bar: 20 μm.
