Figure 4 Morphology of human mesenchymal stem cells from bone marrow and adipose tissue during the differentiation protocol. Cells were induced to differentiate by using a sequential addition of growth factors, cytokines and hormones. Morphology of passage 2 BMSC (A) and ADSC (B) cells. No significant morphological changes were observed in BMSC (C) nor in ADSC (D) cells during the step-1 differentiation. However, both BMSC (E) and ADSC (F) cells significantly changed the morphology, and developed a polygonal shape during step-2 differentiation (magnification 20 x for all pictures).
