Injected myogenic cells that secrete NTFs reduced NMJs denervation. Two weeks after sciatic nerve crush and transplantation of myogenic cells expressing all four NTFs, hind limbs muscles were double stained using alpha bungarotoxin (green) and antisynaptophysin antibodies (red) to measure MNJ integrity. A- Image of hind limb muscle section transplanted with MPCs-MIX⁺ (100µm) B- or with MPCs- GFP+. C-Quantification of intact NMJs (n=5, means + SEM, ^*p<0.05, determined by student t-test).
