Fig. 3. — Freshly isolated native cells recovered from both the AuxoCell Processing System (AC:Px) (A) and collagenase digestion (E) can be placed into mesenchymal stem/stromal cell (MSC) culture medium and expanded ex vivo. In addition, native cells recovered from both the AC:Px System (B) and collagenase digestion (F) were cryopreserved, thawed, and placed into culture to derive ex vivo expanded MSCs. Freshly isolated minced tissue recovered from both the AC:Px System (C) and collagenase digestion (G) was used as explants to ex vivo expand MSCs, as well as from cryopreserved and thawed UCT minced tissue units from the AC:Px System (D) or collagenase digestion (H). Each image was taken with a phase contrast microscope. The white bar in each image represents 100 μm.
