Impact of Tissue Harvesting Sites on the Cellular Behaviors of Adipose-Derived Stem Cells: Implication for Bone Tissue Engineering

Figure 2

Multilineage differentiation capability of adipose-derived MSCs: (a–d) AbSCs, (e–h) BFPdSCs, and (i–l) HdSCs in various culture conditions including stem cell growth medium (a, e, i), osteogenic induction medium (b, f, j), adipogenic induction medium (c, g, k), and chondrogenic induction medium (d, h, l). Note that all three types of cells displayed a spindle-like morphology. Also, note that multilineage differentiation capability of all three given cells was confirmed by Alizarin Red staining (b, f, j), Oil Red O (c, g, k), and toluidine blue staining (d, h, l).
