Fig. 1From: Bone marrow-derived from the human femoral shaft as a new source of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells: an alternative cell material for banking and clinical transplantationPrimary culture of iliac crest BM-MSC and cell morphological characterization at different culture stages—a the comparison of three different isolations protocols. b Visualization of bone marrow-derived cells cultured at initial passage 0 and after 14 DIV. c The number of mononuclear cell concentration obtained after different gradient centrifugations. (F) Ficoll, (S) 17.5% sucrose; the whole fraction of BM and the total cell count for MSC. d Graphs show population doubling time (PDT) of BM-MSC in commercial medium 1 versus medium 2. Scale bars = 200 μm. All data reflect mean ± SD from ≥ 5 independent experimentsBack to article page
