Morphology and multilineage differentiation capacity of WJ-MSCs. a WJ-MSCs showed a homogeneous spindle-shaped morphology. b Osteogenesis was examined by von Kossa staining for mineral nodule deposition. c Chondrogenesis was assessed by Safranin O staining for proteoglycan deposition. d Adipogenesis was observed by the presence of lipid vesicles and confirmed by oil red O staining. e Immunophenotype of WJ-MSCs by flow cytometric analysis. Representative histograms are demonstrated. WJ-MSCs were positive for CD44, CD90, CD105, CD73, and HLA-ABC and negative for CD34, CD45, and HLA-DR
