Enhanced Healing of Diabetic Wounds by Topical Administration of Adipose Tissue-Derived Stromal Cells Overexpressing Stromal-Derived Factor-1: Biodistribution and Engraftment Analysis by Bioluminescent Imaging
Figure 7
Persistence and engraftment of AT-SCs expressing luciferase after topical administration at the wound. Diabetic mice were treated after wounding with AT-SCs isolated from luciferase-expressing mice. Longitudinal analysis performed by BLI at different time points after the treatment indicates persistence of signal throughout the process of wound healing. Representative images from an experimental animal at different time points (). Data are indicated as the percentage of the value immediately after topical administration of the cells (day 0). Values are expressed as mean ± SEM indicated by error bars.
