The above harvested diaphragm (O) muscles were subjected to IF staining for Pax7 and Laminin. Scale bar = 50 µm (O). Quantification of the numbers of Pax7+ muscle progenitor cells per area are shown on the right (n=3 mice, each). Error bars represent s.d.'s of the mean. Student's t-test (two-sided): *P<0.05, **P<0.01 ***P<0.001.
