Mesenchymal Stem Cells Isolated from Adipose and Other Tissues: Basic Biological Properties and Clinical Applications

<table>Double immunofluorescence staining of microvessels in a mouse inguinal fat pad (paraffin embedded). CD34-positive (<i>left; secondary antibody Texas red</i>) and <i>α</i>-smooth muscle actin-positive (<i>α</i>-SMA, <i>middle; secondary antibody FITC</i>) staining is shown. The cells surrounding the microvessels are positive for both CD34 and <i>α</i>-SMA (<i>right panel: </i>marked with black arrow heads), suggesting a possible relationship between pericytes and MSCs. Nuclei were counterstained with hematoxylin. Scale bars, 20 <i>μ</i>m.</table>
