Figure 1From: Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells reduce systemic inflammation and attenuate LPS-induced acute lung injury in ratsUC-derived MSC-like cells in passaged cultures. (A) H&E staining of UC-derived MSC-like cells. Osteogenic differentiation as indicated by (B) the formation of mineralized matrix shown by alizarin red staining and (C) alkaline phosphatase expression. Adipocytic differentiation was noted by the presence of broadened morphology and formation of lipid vacuoles (D) (positive oil-red O staining). Scale bars = 80 μm. (E) Immunophenotype of UC-derived MSC-like cells.Back to article page
