Schematic representation of steps to sort subpopulations of hASCs: (a) isolation of hASCs, (b) immunomagnetic sorting of hASCs, (c) tenogenic differentiation of TNMD + hASCs, (d) expression of tendon-related markers in sorted and unsorted subpopulations of hASCs, (e) response of sorted and unsorted subpopulations of hASCs to different growth factors, and (f) gene expression level of Tnmd, Scx, TNC, and DCN in sorted subpopulations of hASCs.
