Tracking transplanted cells in the brain after traumatic brain injury (TBI). (a) Temporal schematic of the experimental protocol, the detection times, and the analysis of the different experiments. (b) Visualization of the location of transplanted bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) in the corpus callosum (CC) of BMSC‐injected mice. The BMSCs were incubated with 5‐bromo‐2‐deoxyuridine (BrdU) for 3 days before being transplanted into mice by i.v. injection 1 day after TBI. BrdU (green) staining in the cortex (CTX), CC, striatum (STR), and subventricular zone (SVZ) was detected 2 days after BMSC transplantation. These sections were costained with 4'‐6‐diamidino‐2‐phenylindole (DAPI) (blue) to reveal nuclear morphology. Bar indicates 100 μm
