Fig 4. Multi-lineage differentiation of cells from different layers of a full-term placenta.

Fig 4

Scale bar: 200 μm. (A) Adipogenic differentiation was confirmed by Oil Red-O staining of intracytoplasmic lipid droplets. (B) Chondrogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells indicated by Safranin O staining. (C) Chondrogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells indicated by positive type II collagen staining. (D) Osteogenic differentiation indicated by positive staining for alkaline phosphatase activity. (E) Osteogenic differentiation indicated by positive Alizarin Red-S staining.
