Expression of Neural Markers by Undifferentiated Mesenchymal-Like Stem Cells from Different Sources

Table 2

Undifferentiated hS-MSC expression of differentiation markers at different passages after 14 days of culture. The number of positive cells for each marker is expressed as % ± SD (—: no positive cells). When the values are very heterogeneous we report the % of positive cells ​ ​for each donor.
