Differentiation of Dental Pulp Stem Cells into Neuron-Like Cells in Serum-Free Medium

Figure 4

Activation of specific neuronal markers. The activation of Nestin (~215 bp) (a) and Tub3 (~125 bp) (b) indicated that the cells had differentiated into neurons. Gapdh (~717 bp), a housekeeping gene, was activated before and after differentiation (c). Panel (i) is representing undifferentiated cells, that is, cells before neuronal differentiation, while panel (ii) is representing differentiated cells, that is, cells after neuronal differentiation.
