Figure 4. Biological sutures result in better cell engraftment than intramyocardial injection.

Figure 4

(A) Total number of hMSCs engrafted in rat hearts, determined by counting QD-loaded cells in histological sections. (B) hMSC engraftment rate (%) was calculated based on the total number of cells engrafted in each heart and the starting cell number delivered. Asterisks indicate significance with a p-value less than 0.05.
