Comparison of Osteogenesis between Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Their Sheets on Poly--Caprolactone/-Tricalcium Phosphate Composite Scaffolds in Canine Bone Defects

Figure 2

Morphological characteristics of the adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (Ad-MSCs) and Ad-MSC sheets. (a) (A) undifferentiated Ad-MSCs, (B) osteogenic Ad-MSCs, and (C) osteogenic Ad-MSC sheets observed under a phase contrast microscope. (b) OCS was composed of multiple layers of cells surrounded by ECM. (c) OCS was easily detached by cell scraper. Scale bars = 25 μm.
