Figure 5From: Murine mesenchymal progenitor cells from different tissues differentiated via mesenchymal microspheres into the mesodermal directionMesenchymal progenitor cells derived from murine bone marrow (BM), perirenal adipose tissue (PAT), and mediastinal stromal tissue (MST) show adipogenic (A; Sudan III staining) and osteogenic (B; alkaline phosphatase staining) differentiation. Cells were cultivated via monolayer (A1-3 and B1-3) or adherent "mesenchymal microsphere" (MMS outgrowths; A4-6 and B4-6). Representative areas are shown. Bar = 100 μm.Back to article page
