TRAP staining and analysis of critical size bone defect healing after 6 weeks in male and female mice. A The TRAP-stained bone defects representative images of all groups with 200 times magnification (red arrows showed the TRAP-positive cells, bar = 100 μm) in male and (B) in female. C, D TRAP-positive cell number calculated per µm2. Male Sc-only, n = 6; male Sc + MSCs, n = 6; male Sc + IL4-MSCs, n = 6. Female Sc-only, n = 4; female Sc + MSCs, n = 6; female Sc + IL4-MSCs, n = 6
