Scratch and transwell migration assay indicating the hBMSC repopulation ability. (a) Representative pictures of the migration and repopulation ability of hBMSCs over 24 hours treated with HS, D1, D5, and D10 sera in a scratch assay. The black area represents the scratched area. As time goes by, the injured area is gradually reduced and dispersed along with the migration of cells. (b) After 4, 8, and 24 hours, no significant increase in migration of the D1, D5, and D10 groups was found compared to the HS group (; ). (c) In transwell migration assay, no significant differences in the ratio of migration were observed between the HS, D1, D5, and D10 groups 12 hours after seeding (; ).
