From: Tissue-specific Differentiation Potency of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells from Perinatal Tissues
(A) Morphology of amnionic mesenchymal stromal cells(AMSCs) at primary culture, passage 3 and 6 (left), chorionic MSCs (CMSCs) (middle), and umbilical cord MSCs (UC-MSCs) (right) in primary culture, passage 3 and 10 (x40). (B) Comparison of population doubling time among AMSCs, CMSCs and UC-MSCs. (C) Evaluation of apoptosis by Annexin V-FITC/PI staining, followed by flow cytometry analysis. (D) Evaluation of Senescence by β-galactosidase activity assay. (E) Mesodermal differentiation potential of mesenchymal stromal cells derived from amnion (AMSCs), chorion (CMSCs) and umbilical cord (UC-MSCs). Adipogenesis (Oil red O), chondrogenesis (Alcian blue), osteogenesis (silver nitrate) (x100).
