Figure 4: ESW treatment promoted the expression of Runx2, Osterix in vivo.

Figure 4

(A) At 4 weeks post-ESW treatment, the sections had the strongest intensity, which indicated that there were more Runx2 (+), Osterix (+) cells in the ESW group. Scale bar, 100 μm; n = 5/group/time point. (B) At 4 weeks post ESW treatment, transplanted cells expressed more TGF-β1 (green) than the control group. The nuclei of the transplanted cells were stained with DAPI (blue). Scale bar, 50 μm; n = 5/group/time point.
