Figure 1From: The systemic influence of platelet-derived growth factors on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in fracture patientsMSC dynamics in patients’ bone marrow (BM) and peripheral blood (PB) over time post injury. A) MSC changes in aspirated BM at different time-points post-injury (split into Subgroups: Early (Days 1 to 3 post injury), Intermediate (days 4 to 10 post injury), Late (more than 11 days post injury) and Return to baseline (more than 1 year post injury). The solid line represents polytrauma patients and the broken line represents isolated trauma patients; thick bars represent median values. B) Representative Day 0 CFU-F dishes from patients from the corresponding subgroups, demonstrating the abundance of CFU-Fs in the BM and their absence in PB. CFU-F, colony-forming unit – fibroblast; MSC, mesenchymal stem cell.Back to article page
