Characterization of mesenchymal stem cells. (a) Expressions of positive and negative markers were visualized using a confocal microscope, and the nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (STRO-1 (positive marker), CD19 (negative marker)). (b) ARS staining assay for mineralization quantified using the CPC method (t-test, *** p < 0.001).
