Characterization of human BM- and PDB-MSCs. Morphology of (a) BM-MSCs and (e) PDB-MSCs; scale bar: 200 μm. Alizarin red staining of (b) BM-MSCs and (f) PDB-MSCs after osteogenic induction; scale bar: 200 μm. Oil red O staining of (c) BM-MSCs and (g) PDB-MSCs after adipogenic induction; scale bar: 200 μm. Alcian blue staining of (d) BM-MSCs and (h) PDB-MSCs after chondrogenic induction; scale bar: 200 μm for (d) and 100 μm for (h).
