High Expression of Acid-Sensing Ion Channel 2 (ASIC2) in Bone Cells in Osteoporotic Vertebral Fractures

Figure 2

Bone marrow-derived MSCs differentiate into mature osteoblasts. The adult human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were cultured in the osteogenic medium. Osteoblastogenesis is assessed by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and Alizarin red S (ARS) staining. (d) and (f) Under the induction of osteogenic medium for 21 days, bone marrow-derived MSCs could differentiate into osteoblasts showing positive alkaline phosphatase and Alizarin red S staining.
