In vitro morphology and growth kinetics of guinea pig MSCs. a–b′ Distinct morphological subpopulations were exhibited by gpBM-MSCs (a, a′) and gpAT-MSCs (b, b′) in culture. MSC morphology was defined according to the presence of long thin spindles (‘spindle’: a, b) or flat cells with atypical processes (‘flat’: a′, b′) (scale bar = 50 μm). c Quantitative analysis of MSC morphological types. Data are expressed as a percentage of the total cell number in each population (n = 6 independent cultures per group). d The population doubling level of proliferating MSCs was recorded at 3, 7 and 14 days after seeding (n = 3 independent cultures per group per time point). **P <0.01, ***P <0.001, ****P <0.0001. gpAT-MSC guinea pig adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cell, gpBM-MSC guinea pig bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell, MSC mesenchymal stem cell
