Figure 2: Phenotypic assays for isolated BM MSCs, Thyroid MSCs, and PTC MSCs.

(A) Adipocyte, (B) chondrocyte, and (C) osteocyte differentiation assays suggested no differences between BM-derived and thyroid-derived MSCs. (D) Flow cytometer analysis supported the differentiation data showing identical of cluster of differentiation (CD) expression in BM MSC, Thyroid MSC, and PTC MSC cell surfaces.
