In vitro osteogenic differentiation of BMSC and ATSC when MSC were cultured with or without standard osteogenic induction media (250 μM ascorbic acid, 10 mM β‐glycerolphosphate, and 100 nM dexamethasone) for up to 21 days. BMSC of three different human donors (n = 3) and ATSC of four different human donors (n = 4) were plated in triplicate for each time point. (A): Extracellular ALP secretion is shown qualitatively by Fast Blue RR salt and Naphthol AS‐MX phosphates alkaline staining. (B): Intracellular ALP activity, data are presented as mean ± SD. (C): Mineralization was qualitatively assessed by alizarin red (AR) staining and representative images from each group are presented. (D): AR staining was solubilized and enumerated per well and normalized to DNA content, presented as mean ± SD. * indicates statistical differences (p < .05) between groups. Abbreviations: ALP, alkaline phosphatase; ATSC, adipose tissue‐derived stem cells; BMSC, bone marrow‐derived stem cells.
