Figure 5From: Horse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells express embryo stem cell markers and show the ability for tenogenic differentiation by in vitro exposure to BMP-12Morphology of equine BM-MSC-derived tenocytes cultured in monolayer at day 20th. The cells at 5th passage in growth medium added with BMP-12 under phase contrast microscopy exhibited heterogeneous morphology with most cells fibroblast-like (A) and other elongated cells (B).
