(a) Morphology of primary and subcultured DMS/PCs. (A) After 24 h of primary culture, DMS/PCs exhibited a shuttle shape with clear boundaries and grew slowly. (B) After 5 days of primary culture, DMS/PCs showed polygonal and long shuttle shapes, most of which had protrusions, and gradually reached confluency. (C) Passage 3 DMS/PCs were fibroblast-like and homogeneous (scale bar: 100 μm). (b) Comparison of cell proliferation in different culture systems. Culture systems III was suitable for DMS/PC proliferation. Data are expressed as the means ± S.D. of triplicates ( ).
