Fluorescent immunocytochemistry tests and quantification of Pax7, MyoD, and myogenin. (a) Muscle stem cells in Matrigel and collagen-I coatings were stained for Pax7, MyoD, or myogenin (all green) together with actin (red) and DAPI (blue) after differentiation. (b) Quantification of Pax7+, MyoD+, and myogenin+ cells (expressed as a mean ± SD) in Matrigel and collagen-I coatings after differentiation. Scale bar represents 50 μm. ∗ Significant difference between the Matrigel and collagen-I. Republished with permission of ref.
