QE2 expanded MSCs are capable of multilineage differentiation. a Oil Red O staining of adipocytes grown for 5–7 days, scale bars represent 50 µm. b Alizarin Red S staining of osteocytes grown for 14 days, scale bars represent 200 µm. c Alcian Blue staining of chondrocytes spheroids grown for 14 days. Scale bars represent 400 µm. All images were captured under bright field using a light microscope. Photos are representative of replicate experiments done in triplicate
