Characterization of human aBMSCs. (a) The aBMSCs expressed STRO-1, a mesenchymal stromal cell marker. Positive staining of the cells with Alizarin red (b) or Oil red O (c) demonstrated the osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation potential of the aBMSCs. Magnification: ×400. (d) The aBMSCs were positive for MSC markers, including CD44, CD90, and CD106, and negative for hematopoietic and endothelial markers, including CD14, CD34, and HLA-DR.
