Mass Production of Early-Stage Bone-Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells of Rat Using Gelatin-Coated Matrix

Figure 4

The morphology of BM-MSCs cultured on a 2D matrix coated with 1% (wt/v) gelatin by passage 5. Compared to BM-MSCs cultured on dishes without a gelatin coating, a typical fibroblast-like morphology was observed in BM-MSCs cultured on 1% (wt/v) gelatin-coated culture dishes. Magnifications of photographs in top and bottom panel are 40 and 100, respectively. Scale bar, 200 μm.
