FIG. 4.

Follow-up of iPSCs following intramyocardial transplantation. (A) Example of thoracic BLI signals over the time course (14 days) following intramyocardial transplantation with and without the fibrinogen biomatrix. (B) Comparison between both groups shows a first constant course of BLI signals according to the engraftment time required. After 72 h, total mean BLI signals began to rise consequently with significant higher mean radiances in the medium group. (C) Although overall BLI signals were higher in medium-treated animals, the analysis of organ explants showed significantly higher cardiac concentrations in the fibrinogen group and high pulmonary iPSC concentrations in the medium group.
