Morphological appearance of human amniotic epithelial cells (AECs) and umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs). Cells in the primary culture of AECs (a) and UC-MSCs (b). AECs displayed rounded shape while UC-MSCs showed spindle shaped morphology. Insets show morphological features at higher magnification. Both types of cells showed expression of embryonic lineage markers SSEA4, NANOG, and OCT4 (c). AECs: amniotic epithelial cells, UC-MSCs: mesenchymal stem cells, SSEA4: stage specific embryonic antigen 4, and OCT4: octamer binding protein 4.
