Characterisation of rBMMSCs. (a) The morphology of rBMMSCs under a phase contrast microscope. The MSCs displayed a spindle-shaped morphology (10x). (b) The growth curve of rBMMSCs through 18 passages (𝑛=3). (c) The expression of cell surface markers on rBMMSCs (the bars represent 500 μm). (d) von Kossa staining of rBMMSCs induced with osteogenic induction medium for 3 weeks showed accumulation of mineral depositions (𝑛=3). (e) Oil red O staining of rBMMSCs induced with adipogenic culture medium for 2 weeks showed lipid accumulation in cells (𝑛=3).
