Figure 4From: Fibronectin and laminin promote differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells into insulin producing cells through activating Akt and ERKAdding FN or LAM increases the activation of Akt and ERK. (A) MSCs were induced for differentiation without (Control) or with FN or LAM, and western blotting was done for stage III cells. Quantification of western blotting shows FN or LAM increases the activation of (B) Akt and (C) Akt. (mean ± S.D.).Back to article page
