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

Figure 8

Expression of vimentin in undifferentiated and differentiated high passaged eBM-MSCs. Confocal microscopy shows the expression of vimentin (red) in neural crest-like cells from eBM-MSCs of middle-aged horse after 12 h of chemical induction. DAPI was used to stain the nuclei (blue). Undifferentiated control eBM-MSCs are in the right panel. Note the diffuse localization of vimentin, which is expressed in undifferentiated and in neural progenitor cells. Scale bar = 25 μm.
