Fig. 6From: Ageing attenuates bone healing by mesenchymal stem cells in a microribbon hydrogel with a murine long bone critical-size defect modelImmunohistochemistry staining and analysis of CD11b/DAPI positive cells inside the scaffolds in male and female mice. A Representative images of CD11b/DAPI stained macrophages in all groups (Blue: DAPI/nucleus; Magenta: CD11b/Macrophage marker. Bar = 100 μm) in male and (B) in female. C, D Number of cells counted from the immunohistochemistry images. 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 = 6Back to article page
