Characterization of mesenchymal stem cells from both aged and young mice. (A) MSCs from both young and aged donor mice display fibroblast-like morphology. The pluripotency of MSCs from both young and aged mice was confirmed by adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation assays which were detected by Oil red O staining and alizarin red S staining, respectively. (B) Flow cytometry results show that MSCs from both young and aged donor mice were uniformly negative for CD34 and CD45, and positive for CD44 and CD90 (n = 5). MSCs, mesenchymal stem cells.
