Fig. 1From: Human mesenchymal stem cells derived from adipose tissue showed a more robust effect than those from the umbilical cord in promoting corneal graft survival by suppressing lymphangiogenesisIn vitro characterization of hMSCs. A Flow cytometry analysis found hMSCs markers CD90, CD105, CD44, CD73 are positive, and CD34, CD45, CD11b, CD19 are negative. B Morphology of MSCs and their tri-lineage differentiation. The image showed typical spindle-shaped morphology of adherent hMSCs. Adipogenesis: Triglyceride produced by differentiated adipocytes was stained with Oil Red O. Osteogenesis: Deposited calcium was stained with Alizarin Red. Chondrogenesis: Chondrogenic nodules were stained with Alcian Blue. Scale bar: 150 μm (original), 50 μm (enlarged). Five strains of hAD-MSCs and five strains of hUC-MSCs, respectively, were characterized for the marker expressions and for multi-differentiation potentialBack to article page
