Retinal Progenitor Cells Exhibit Cadherin-Dependent Chemotaxis across Transplantable Extracellular Matrix of In Vitro Developmental and Adult Models

Figure 6

N-cadherin expression in Mus retinal progenitors (MPs) treated with (a) IGF-1 (N = 23), (b) EGF (N = 18), (c) SDF1-α (N = 19), and (d) control (media only, N = 24). Red indicates N-cadherin and blue indicates DAPI nuclear stain. (e) N-cadherin expression levels for each group normalized to control illustrating significantly higher N-cadherin expression in the SDF1-α treated group compared to control ().
