Cotransplantation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Immature Dendritic Cells Potentiates the Blood Glucose Control of Islet Allografts

Figure 1

Morphology and osteogenic induction of mouse mesenchymal stem cells. Isolated MSCs attached to the culture dish at passage 0 (a) and showed uniform morphology at passage 3 (b). Alizarin red staining shows calcium nodules in the cytoplasm (c) and Von Kossa stain reveals mineral deposition (d) in MSCs. After 2 weeks of adipogenic induction, the majority of cells showed lipid droplets (e). P3: passage 3; magnification ×100; Scale bar = 100 μm.
