Protective effect of baicalein toward •OH-treated bmMSCs. Cell viability was assessed using the MTT method. •OH radicals were generated by addition of FeCl₂ (100 μM) followed by H₂O₂ (50 μM). The control group was cultured in medium only, while the model group was treated with •OH radicals. The baicalein group was treated by •OH followed by baicalein. Each value is expressed as the mean ± SD, n = 3; * Significant difference vs. model group, p < 0.05. bmMSCs, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells; MTT, methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium.
