Differentiation of Equine Mesenchymal Stromal Cells into Cells of Neural Lineage: Potential for Clinical Applications

Figure 10

Expression of nestin in undifferentiated and differentiated low passaged eBM-MSCs. Confocal microscopy shows the expression of nestin (red) in neural crest-like cells (upper panels) and in undifferentiated controls (lower panels) from eBM-MSCs of young and middle-aged horses after 3 h and 12 h of chemical induction. DAPI was used to stain the nuclei (blue). Note the predominant perinuclear localization of nestin. Scale bar = 25 μm.
