Characterization of hAD-MSCs. a–c Morphology of hAD-MSCs (a ×40, b ×100, c ×200). d The growth curve of hAD-MSCs. e–g hAD-MSCs were able to differentiate into adipocytes (e ×200), osteoblasts (f ×200) and chondroblasts (g ×200). Lipid vacuoles in the cytoplasm were visualized in adipocytes, which were verified by Oil Red O staining (e). Abundant calcium deposits were visualized in osteoblasts, which were stained with Alizarin Red S (f). Cartilage-specific proteoglycans (g) were visualized in chondroblasts stained with Alcian blue. Representative images are shown
