Retention of ASCs. (a) Standardized region of interest on random rats on days 1, 3, 7, and 14 of bioluminescence imaging. (b) Absolute bioluminescence count. (c) Retention of bioluminescent signal compared to day 1. Number of animals for each time point in (b) and (c): days 1, 3, and 7: , day 14: , and day 21: . ASC: adipose-derived stromal cells. values denote differences in trajectory between the groups.
