STEM effects on grip strength, mass, and collagen content during 14 days of normal cage ambulation: panels represent A grip strength of PBS and STEM-treated mice at baseline (1 day prior to treatment) and repeated at day 13 of normal cage ambulation (1 day prior to tissue harvest). B Soleus muscle mass (mg/g); C soleus muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) displayed in um²; and D soleus muscle BCHP, COLIV, and BCHP/COLIV ratio in PBS- and STEM-treated mice after 14 days of normal cage ambulation. Representative immunohistochemistry images are depicted next to panel. N = 5 mice in each group. Results are mean with standard error of the mean. Two-way ANOVA-repeated measures used for panel A. T-test between PBS and STEM (B–D). † = different from all groups. * = different to PBS
