Figure 1 Mesenchymal stem cells restore impaired esophageal contractility in gastroesophageal reflux disease rats.
This figure displays representative recordings of esophageal pressure dynamics, visually comparing baseline and potassium chloride-stimulated contractions in normal, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and mesenchymal stem cell-treated rat groups. Error bars represent SEM. cP < 0.001 for mesenchymal stem cell group vs gastroesophageal reflux disease group. KCl: Potassium chloride; GERD: Gastroesophageal reflux disease; MSC: Mesenchymal stem cell.
