Quantification of inflammatory cells infiltrating the heart. Representative images of heart sections from mice euthanized two months after cell therapy with MSCs, MSC_IGF-1, or untreated controls. Heart sections were stained with H&E, and the number of inflammatory cells was quantified, comparing naïve (a) and infected mice treated with saline (b) MSCs (c) or MSC_IGF-1 (d). . (e) Number of inflammatory cells per mm² in H&E-stained sections. Data represent the of 5–7 animals/group. , , and .
