From: Enhanced osteogenic potential of mesenchymal stem cells from cortical bone: a comparative analysis
Osteogenic potential assessed on AD-, BM-, and CBF-MSCs after 2 weeks in induction media. Cells were cultured in normoxic (a) and hypoxic (b) conditions. Histological images showing mineral deposits produced by the three cell types. Cells grown in standard media for the same period are also shown (second and fourth rows). Magnification: 10×. Scale bar: 40 μm. (c) Quantification of mineral deposition following osteogenic induction in normoxia and hypoxia conditions represented as a percentage of total well area. Values are mean ± standard deviation (n = 3). Asterisks depict highly significant differences (P < 0.0005) between CBF-MSCs and AD-MSCs and BM-MSCs.
