Figure 3From: Characterization and profiling of immunomodulatory genes of equine mesenchymal stromal cells from non-invasive sourcesOsteogenic differentiation potential. Representative example of isolated equine umbilical cord blood- (UCB-), peripheral blood- (PB-), and umbilical cord matrix- (UCM-) derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) which were able to differentiate toward the osteogenic lineage, as demonstrated by an increased alkaline phosphatase activity and the Alizarin Red S staining. MSCs derived from UCM are staining positive for alkaline phosphatase activity but negative for Alizarin Red S. Magnification 10×.Back to article page
