Adipose-Derived Stem Cells Alleviate Radiation-Induced Muscular Fibrosis by Suppressing the Expression of TGF-β1

Figure 3

Distribution and migration of CM-Dil labeled ASCs. (a) ASCs distributed along the needle passage at 1 w after implantation; (b) ASCs distributed diffusely in the skeletal muscle tissue at 4 w after implantation; (c) the distribution of ASCs became more diffuse accompanied by the attenuated fluorescence intensity at 8 w after implantation. The images were observed under a magnification of 200x.
