Unmodified autologous stem cells at point of care for chronic myocardial infarction

Figure 6 No differentiation of stem cells into adipocytes after delivery of UA-ADRCs. A, B: Representative photomicrographs of paraffin-embedded, 5 µm thick tissue sections of post mortem hearts from pigs in group 1 (delivery of fresh, uncultured, unmodified, autologous adipose-derived regenerative cells) (A) and group 2 (delivery of saline as control) (B), taken from the left ventricular border zone of myocardial infarction at 10 wk. (C) Representative photomicrograph of a paraffin-embedded, 5 µm thick tissue section of subcutaneous adipose tissue from a pig. The sections were stained with DAPI (blue), and processed for immunofluorescent detection of adiponectin (green). The scale bar represents 100 µm. UA-ADRCs: Fresh, uncultured, unmodified, autologous adipose-derived regenerative cells.
