Guiding the Differentiation Direction of Pancreatic Islet-Derived Stem Cells by Glycated Collagen

Figure 6

PDX1 staining of PI-MSC differentiated into endocrine cell lineage on modified collagens. The staining was observed in the cells differentiated on Col-G (c), Col-M (d), and Col-R (f), but the expression was higher on Col (b) and Col-A (e). Unlike the others, PDX1 expression in cells on Col-R-coated surface was in the nucleus. Scale bar: 50 μm.
