Human ASC morphology and differentiation potential. Light microscopy: (a) undifferentiated hASCs; (b) chondrogenic differentiation, HE staining of chondropellet; (c, d) adipogenic differentiation, Oil Red O staining (lipid droplets are red) of hASCs cultured in standard (c) and adipogenic (d) medium; (e, f) osteogenic differentiation, Alizarin Red staining (calcium deposits are red) of hASCs cultured in standard (e) and osteogenic (f) medium. Scale bars: 200 μm (a, b), 20 μm (c, d), and 50 μm (e, f).
