Osteogenic differentiation of MSCs and fibroblasts. P5 MSCs from 9004 BM-MSC (A, B), 9003 BM-MSC (C, D), 9003 ASC (E, F) and 1014 EF (G, H) were cultured in osteogenic differentiation or control medium, respectively and stained with Alizarin Red S, which stains calcium deposits red. Calcium mineralization in 9003 ASC (E) appeared less extensive than that of the BM-MSCs (A and C). 1014 EF failed to undergo osteogenesis, as evident from the absence of staining. (G, H;). Representative images are shown at 200X magnification. Scale bars represent 100 μm.
