Bladder Smooth Muscle Cells Differentiation from Dental Pulp Stem Cells: Future Potential for Bladder Tissue Engineering

Figure 2

Morphology changes of human dental pulp stem cell (DPSC) clone A32 following an SMC-induction protocol. The morphology is demonstrated to change from the spindle shape of the A32 to the “hill and valley” morphology of SMCs over time ((a)–(e)). The SMC as the positive control (f). The noninduced A32 as the negative control (a). Bar 50 μm.
