Fig. 2From: Mesenchymal stem cells in synovial fluid increase in number in response to synovitis and display more tissue-reparative phenotypes in osteoarthritisPhenotypic analysis of colony-forming cells in synovial fluid (SF). A Scheme of the experiment. SF was collected from intact knees and knees 4Â weeks after sham and pMx surgery and cultured for 1Â week. B Colony-forming unit (CFU) assay. The numbers of colonies and representative images of colonies stained with crystal violet are shown. C Representative flow cytometric histograms. D Differentiation assays. Representative images of oil red O, alizarin red, and safranin O staining are shownBack to article page
