Nasoseptal CSPCs are multipotent and positive for MSCs markers. a–i Multilineage differentiation ability of CDCs (a, d, g), DNCs (b, e, h) and CSPCs (c, f, i) into a–c chondrogenic, d–f osteogenic and g–i adipogenic lineages at P2. Images are representative from 3 independent experiments (n = 3). Scale bars, 100 μm. j–l Flow cytometry characterisation of CDCs, DNCs and CSPCs. j Dot blots representative of cell populations from P1. k, l Mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) calculated for P1 and P8 cells, respectively. Results as mean ± SEM from three biological repeats (n = 3), *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001
