Evaluation of the abilities of human multilineage-differentiating stress enduring (Muse) cells and human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to migrate toward sera from intact and lung ischemia–reperfusion (IR) injury model rats. Migrated cells were counted in 10 random high-power fields (HPFs) at 400× magnification, and the averages were used for comparison. When intact rat serum was used, 1.30 ± 1.00 MSCs and 1.20 ± 0.98 Muse cells were counted per HPF. When serum from IR injury model rats was used, the corresponding values were 4.40 ± 1.80 cells/HPF and 46.50 ± 10.43 cells/HPF, respectively. Data are presented as means ± standard deviations. ***P < 0.001.
