Fig. 3From: Comparison of adhesion of thawed and cultured synovial mesenchymal stem cells to the porcine meniscus and the relevance of cell surface microspikesMorphology of cultured and thawed synovial MSCs in suspension. a SEM images. b The proportion of cells with microspikes. Fifty cells were examined once per donor, and the results from five donors are shown independently. The proportion of MSCs with microspikes was 28 ± 5% in the cultured MSC suspension and 53 ± 3% in the thawed MSC suspension.*; p < 0.05 by paired t-test. c Representative TEM imagesBack to article page
