MSC characteristics under 2% and 5% short-term hypoxia. a The metabolic activity of MSCs was significantly elevated under both 2% and 5% hypoxia, when compared to normoxia; b The clonogenic capacity of hMSCs was significantly increased under hypoxia, while for pMSCs it was decreased after 48 h under 5% hypoxia; c Proliferation of MSCs was significantly increased under 2% hypoxia, whereas a significantly lower rate of proliferation was seen under 5% hypoxia; *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001; ****p < 0.0001
