Xenografts generated with FSHD hMPCs. Xenografts were generated as for groups 2 and 3 (see Fig. 2), using FSHD hMPCs. a A graft labeled with antibodies to desmin (red) and to human β-spectrin (green) shows many large muscle fibers of human origin that are up to 53 μm in diameter. b Scattergram of counts of human muscle fibers in six xenografts treated with iNMES and six xenografts that remained untreated. iNMES significantly increases the number of human fibers in the grafts formed by FSHD hMPCs (*p < 0.01)
