The functional assays for differentiation of culture MSCs. (a) Representative images of adipogenic differentiation demonstrated by formation of oil droplet. (b) Chondrogenic differentiation demonstrated by positive expression of proteoglycans matrix within the pellet stained with Safranin O/fast green staining. (c) Osteogenic differentiation demonstrated by positive bone matrix mineralization stained with Alizarin Red S staining.
