In vitro osteogenic and adipogenic differentiations of mBMMSCs by ALR. (a) Osteogenic cultures with Alizarin red staining for the detection of nodule-like structures; (b) osteogenic cultures stained with von Kossa for the detection of calcium-phosphate deposits; (c) adipogenic cultures stained with Oil Red for the detection of adipose droplets. Original magnification is 20x.
