Hierarchical clustering of surface markers expressed by BM-MSCs and SV-MSCs. Robust hierarchical clustering of cell surface molecules’ expression divided the BM-MSCs and SV-MSCs from the endothelial cells isolated from the umbilical cord tissue (HUVEC). SV-MSCs were more closely related to BM-MSC than to endothelial cells (a). (Color key represents percentage of positive cells in the in vitro cell cultures, , , and .)
