Figure 1: Characterization of neonatal tendon-derived cells.
(A) Flow cytometry gating and (B) quantification of established MSC and tendon stem/progenitor cell markers. (C) Flow cytometry gating and quantification of Scxlin and non-Scxlin cells after culture. (D) Day 21 Alcian Blue and Alizarin Red staining and (E) gene expression for neonatal tendon cell (TC, top) and juvenile bMSCs (bottom) undergoing chondrogenesis and osteogenesis, respectively. n=3 ** indicates p<0.01.
