Analysis of renal morphology by TEM. a The foot processes in the control group were intact. b The foot processes diffusely effaced, became flat and fused and even disappeared in the model group. The lesions were significantly alleviated in the BMSC treated rats compared to that in the model group (c). GBM, glomeruler basement membrane (black arrow); EC, endothelial cells; MC, mesangial cells; P, podocyte; fp, podocyte foot process (black triangle). Scale bar 5 μm (bottom left). Original magnification × 5000, n = 10 animals in each group
