Characteristics of mUC-MSCs. (a) Immunophenotypic characterization of mUC-MSCs (passage 4) was performed by flow cytometry. (b) mUC-MSCs displayed multilineage differentiation potential, differentiating into adipocytes, as indicated by the presence of lipid droplets stained with Oil Red O (magnification × 200); osteocytes, as evidenced by Alizarin Red staining (magnification × 200); and chondrocytes, as shown by the presence of Alcian Blue staining (magnification × 200). (A) Mouse UC-MSCs; (B) Oil Red O stain; (C) Alizarin Red stain; (D) Alcian Blue stain.
